Tipping fee holiday slated for May 7-12

The city is waiving its residential tipping fees from May 7-12.

That means residents can bring discarded household items to local landfill and waste diversion sites at no charge during the week. The tipping fee holiday includes disposal of up to eight passenger or light truck tires (maximum 34 inches with rims removed) each day. There are no limits on other household waste.

Residents are asked to sort their loads for proper disposal before arriving.

Examples of proper sorting categories include recyclables, scrap metal and appliances, furniture, electronics, concrete (no rebar), leaf and yard trimmings and regular household garbage.

Fees will be waived if delivered in a private motor vehicle.

If a resident wants to rent a vehicle or borrow a commercial pickup truck to deliver their household waste, then a form must be completed, submitted and pre-approved by the city before delivering the household waste.

Tipping fees are being waived only for citizens of Greater Sudbury. Proof of address may be required.

Hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
