The city of Greater Sudbury is temporarily closing public access to all landfill sites in the city.

The city says they made the call after seeing a steady increase in traffic over the past few days and closing them will further support physical distancing recommended by Public Health Sudbury and Districts.

To help the residential garbage bag limit has been increased to four bags effective immediately.

If you have a large item the city will still be doing roadside collection of certain large furniture, appliances and electronics items…but they are saying with an increase in demand it might take a bit longer to pick up the item.

You can schedule a pick-up online here or by calling the city.
