eptember S l ity unicipa M aho l m L Waste Sorting Guide It is not always easy to know how to sort different types of waste. Even if a large part of your waste can now go into your new multi-compartment bin, you must not put all your waste into that bin. This Waste Sorting Guide will guide you through the different types of waste and sorting methods. By sorting and recycling your waste, you protect yourself and others from hazardous substances while reducing the consumption of valuable natural resources.
