What Happens to Green Cart Material
Residential and non-residential roadside waste collection services will be rescheduled. Please do not place garbage, green carts or blue boxes at the roadside, as this may impact road clearing efforts. Alternate pickup dates will be communicated once available. We will provide an update once bulky item collection service has been restored.
Due to the winter storm event, furniture, appliance and electronic collection services are also temporarily suspended. Please do not place these items at the roadside, in laneways or on top of snowbanks, as they may impact snow clearing operations.
New Green Cart requests have also been suspended.
All landfill sites and the Recycling Centre are closed.
- Your Green Cart items are picked up, taken to the organic composting pad at the Sudbury Landfill and turned into compost.
- Watch our organic composting video to learn more about what happens to organic waste after it is collected.
- Finished compost that has passed the testing requirements can be used for landscaping or as a soil conditioner. Find out more about buying finished compost.
