Method for sorting waste, in which method the waste or recycleable material intended for sorting is brought in waste bags (1) to a sorting apparatus, which comprises a conveyor, from which the waste bags belonging to different waste components are separated from each other by guiding them into the containers according to the waste components or to further processing. In the method a waste bag (1), an identifier (3) arranged in connection with it and/or the content of the waste bag is identified with a sensor system, which comprises a number of sensors (S1, S2, S3) monitoring different properties, which sensors essentially simultaneously read and/or identify a waste bag (1), an identifier (3) arranged in connection with it and/or the content of the waste bag when the waste bag (1) is transferred on the conveyor via the reading area of the sensors (S1, S2, S3), and in which method on the basis of information coming from the sensors (S1, S2, S3) the waste bags (1) are sorted into different waste components (F1..
