Spring Residential Tipping Fee Holiday at Local Landfill and Waste Diversion Sites 

Apr 16, 2019

Residential tipping fees will be waived at all Greater Sudbury landfill and waste diversion sites from Monday, May 13, to Saturday, May 18, 2019.

Greater Sudbury residents can deliver household waste 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.
Landfill and Transfer Site hours of operation from May 1 to September 30 are as follows:

Monday to Friday: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Saturday: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday: closed

To help save time, 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, and regular household garbage.

Fees for household waste and tires will be waived if they are delivered in a private motor vehicle. Residents who choose to rent a vehicle or borrow a commercial pickup truck to deliver their household waste must complete a Rental Vehicle or Commercial Pickup Truck Approval Form. This form must be submitted to the City for approval by Monday, May 6, 2019.


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

Residents can prevent littering by covering trailers and truck beds when transporting waste.
Due to increased visitors to the sites during the tipping fee holiday, longer wait times may occur. .
