"Waste" here means entropy. So the "thinking" that the demon does actually increases the entropy overall. In other words, even though the system's entropy seems to be decreasing (since particles are being neatly sorted), the process used in the sorting must create some kind of random garbage that actually will be a net increase in entropy, in spite of the now-sorted particles.
