CNWM Card

Residents and businesses must have a CNWM Card to access the Central Regional Waste Management site or any one of the seven transfer stations in the region.

Get a CNWM Card for your Household

Getting your card is easy, free and fast. Simply visit the regional site or any transfer site with a valid piece of photo ID that shows your current address.

Cards are issued one-per-household at no charge to Central residents. (However, if the card is lost or damaged, there is a $5 replacement fee. All information from the previous card will be transferred to the replacement card.)

To obtain the card, business representatives must visit the Administrative Office at the regional site in Norris Arm. A valid piece of photo ID is required. Card set-up requires name, address, phone number(s), email address and contact name. (Businesses may obtain as many cards as required to facilitate their services).

Business cards are provided at the regional site only. If the card is lost or damaged, a replacement will be issued at the regional site.

Residents and businesses may choose to pre-load their card or simply pay their balance. Payment options are:

• In person with debit or cash at the regional site (residents only).
• Email using a credit card: Email your credit card information (card #, expiry date, and name exactly as it appears on the card) to info@cnwmc.com; include your CNWM card number in the email.
• Phone using a credit card: Call CNWM at 709-653-2900 to provide details.
• Online banking (for Bank of Montreal and Scotiabank customers): Add Central Newfoundland Waste as a payee using your CNWM Card number as the account number. If your card number is not long enough, add zeroes at the beginning of the card number.
