How to Sort Waste on Campus

The four different Disposal Bins for disposing different types of trash, including Organics, Recyclable Containers, Paper Recycling and Landfill

The college has adopted centralized, three and four-stream sorting stations. This means that across all campuses you will notice sets of color-coded bins to dispose of your common waste items.  You may notice the bin type may differ from campus to campus, but the bin colors are uniform.

We encourage you to take a moment and look at the signage to properly dispose of your waste in the correct colored stream. This is important to both limit the amount of waste being sent to landfill and reduce contamination in the recycling streams

If you are uncertain of where certain items should go or request a replacement set of bins for your department, please email sustainability@centennialcollege.ca.

How to use the Centralized Sorting System

Across Centennial Campuses you will notice four-stream centralized sorting systems (including organics waste) placed within cafeteria spaces and areas where food is more likely to be consumed; and three-stream centralized sorting systems throughout all other areas.
