Central Newfoundland Waste Management (CNWM) is launching a curbside recycling and garbage program for all residents of Central Newfoundland. The first of its kind in Newfoundland and Labrador, our mandatory program will have the greatest positive impact on keeping waste out of the central regional landfill.
Waste will be sorted at the residence in two streams
Recyclables are placed in a Blue transparent bag (full list of recyclables to be
available from Central Waste in a couple of weeks)
Place household garbage in a Clear transparent bag. Two small privacy bags
(non- transparent) for disposal of sensitive materials are permitted in the clear bag
Pre-launch of the program is scheduled for the end of January
Promotional packages will be mailed to each residence by mid-February. This
will include details of what is classed as recyclables, sample bags, schedule etc,
Information will also be available through radio, print, TV and website
Program will commence on March 2nd
Full compliance is expected by March 30th
Black bags will no longer be accepted and will not be collected after March 30th
Central Waste has split stream collection trucks and are prepared for the
implementation of this program
Central Waste Management encourages residents to continue to use their Green Depots
