This form must be submitted to the City for approval at least one week prior to the beginning of the tipping fee holiday, by end of day on Monday, September 14, 2020.

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

Residents should prevent littering by covering trailers and truck beds when transporting waste.

Due to increased landfill traffic during the tipping fee holiday week, delays may occur.
