The City of Greater Sudbury is reminding citizens that residential tipping fees will be waived at all Greater Sudbury landfill and waste diversion sites from May 1 - 6.

Greater Sudbury residents can deliver discarded household items to local landfill sites free of charge during the above-noted week.  

The residential tipping fee holiday week includes disposal of up to eight passenger/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 and recycling prior to arriving at the landfill site. 

Examples of proper sorting categories include: 

  • blue box recyclables 
  • scrap metal and appliances 
  • furniture 
  • electronics 
  • concrete 
  • leaf and yard trimmings
  • regular household garbage 

Non-residents of Greater Sudbury are not permitted access to City landfill sites. Proof of address may be required.

The City also asks residents to prevent littering by covering trailers and truck beds when transporting waste.

Due to increased landfill traffic during the tipping fee holiday week, residents are advised to expect delays.
