Due to the heat warning in place across PEI, delays in collection may be experienced. If you are not collected on your scheduled day, please leave your recyclables and/or cart at curb. If not collected by the end of the next day, please contact IWMC’s Customer Service Centre for assistance.

We thank you for your patience as collection drivers work to stay safe in high temperatures!

Island Waste Management Corporation provides waste management services for all homes and businesses through PEI’s Waste Watch Program.
