Island Waste Management Corporation (IWMC) is a provincial Crown Agency that manages, administers and provides solid waste management services province-wide, including operating or overseeing the East Prince Waste Management Facility, the Central Compost Facility, the Energy from Waste Facility, and the Waste Watch Drop-Off Centers. IWMC is also responsible for the Waste Watch Program, a mandatory source-separation waste management system that operates throughout PEI.
The Waste Watch Program treats waste as a resource by sorting it into recyclables, compostables, and residual waste materials. Items such as paper, plastics, metal and glass are recycled, organics such as food and yard waste are composted, and remaining residuals are disposed of to landfill or incinerator. Based on past experience, it is anticipated that the diversion of material away from landfill or incineration will be in the 65% range for 2003.
