Access the application to the Flood Waste Relief Program here.

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 coverage.

This program helps eligible residents manage flood-related waste following recent flooding events. Approved applicants can deliver their flood related waste to the Sudbury, Azilda, or Hanmer landfill sites exempt of tipping and gate fees. The Walden Small Vehicle Transfer Station will not accept flood waste relief program loads.

When delivering your waste to one of the eligible landfill sites, please be prepared to present your City-issued flood waste relief card and valid ID (driver's license) to the scale house attendant. Vehicles attending the site without their card will not be exempted from fees. Your card is valid for 30 days after the date of issue. Check your card for the expiry date.

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.

Spring Residential Tipping Fee Holiday

The Spring Residential Tipping Fee Holiday takes place from May 11 to 16, 2026.

During this time, tipping fees and the gate fee for residential waste delivered in any private motor vehicle will be waived at all Greater Sudbury landfill and waste transfer sites. A City-issued punch card is not needed, and Flood Waste Relief Program cards will not be punched during the Tipping Fee Holiday.

Residents are encouraged to use this opportunity to dispose of flood-related waste safely and properly. Please note that the Walden Small Vehicle Transfer station will not accept waste from the flood waste relief program.
