Flood Waste Relief Program Now Available

The City of Greater Sudbury has developed a Flood Waste Relief Program to support residential property owners affected by flooding who do not have flood insurance.

The program will help eligible residents manage flood-related waste following recent flooding events. Approved applicants can deliver flood-related waste to the Sudbury, Azilda or Hanmer landfill sites without paying tipping or gate fees.

The Walden Small Vehicle Transfer Station will not accept flood waste relief program loads.

How to Apply
Eligibility is limited to flood?affected residential properties in Greater Sudbury where there is no flood insurance coverage or where a flood insurance claim has been denied for the related waste. Residents can apply online or by calling 311.

Please do not place flood waste at the curb

Flood-damaged items that are not eligible for regular roadside collection should not be placed at the curb. This includes construction debris and other flood-related waste, which will not be collected through standard curbside service.

Residents may still place eligible household garbage at the curb if it is within the regular garbage bag limit or placed in properly tagged bags above the limit.

Spring Residential Tipping Fee Holiday

The City is reminding residents that the Spring Residential Tipping Fee Holiday will take place from May 11 to 16, 2026. During this time, tipping fees and the gate fee for residential waste delivered in a private motor vehicle will be waived at all Greater Sudbury landfill and waste transfer sites.

Residents affected by flooding are encouraged to consider this option to dispose of flood-related waste safely and properly.
