Landfill Sites  

City of Greater Sudbury landfill sites are licensed to accept non-hazardous solid waste. This excludes any quantity of the following waste materials:

  • dangerous, hazardous or toxic waste;
  • pathological waste;
  • manure;
  • any waste in semi-liquid or liquid form;
  • dead animals (certain provisions available - call for details);
  • soil or granular materials (will accept under prescribed conditions - call for details);
  • asbestos waste (will accept under prescribed conditions - call for details);
  • waste generated from outside the boundaries of the City of Greater Sudbury;
  • any other item deemed unacceptable by the General Manager.

Industrial, Commercial and Institutional corrugated cardboard is banned from landfill. Segregate recyclable cardboard from your garbage stream.  Either have a separate bin for recycling or deliver the cardboard and other recyclable items to the Recycling Centre. It's that simple.
