Free Tipping Available for Flood Damaged Items
In order to assist residents affected by flood damage, the Municipality will be instituting a process by which residents may dispose of items damaged by the recent flooding.
There are 2 different processes to follow, depending on the type of damage:
1. Building Materials – this consists of drywall, insulation, flooring, carpet etc. which will be removed due to flood damage.
2. General Contents – this consists of non-building materials such as beds, couches, clothes and other similar type items that were destroyed due to flood damage.
Building Materials:
An Alteration Repair Permit Application for flood remediation is available online at https://www.centralmanitoulin.ca/our.../permits-and-forms/ or at the Municipal Office. Please fill out this form and submit it to the Municipal Office along with multiple pictures showing the water damage and proof that your insurance company has denied your claim. Submissions can be submitted either by paper or by sending an email to admin@centralmanitoulin.ca.
Once we have received your paperwork, the Chief Building Official will conduct a site visit. Upon approval of the claim, the Chief Building Official will issue an Alteration Repair Permit at no cost. The front staff at the Municipal Office will issue you a card, which will be accepted at the Providence Bay Landfill site only.
This card will entitle you to dump Building Materials only for a period of 30 days from the issuance of the Permit.
General Contents:
To access this program, please visit the Municipal Office. We will require multiple pictures showing the water damage and the items that are being disposed of. Submissions can be submitted either by paper or by sending an email to admin@centralmanitoulin.ca. Municipal Staff will assess your pictures and determine how many trips to the landfill site will be required. The front staff at the Municipal Office will issue you the necessary number of cards, which will be accepted at the Providence Bay Landfill site only.
Important Reminders:
- Please do NOT bring flood-damaged items to the transfer station before obtaining your card.
- Visit the office starting Monday, April 20th, 2026, to get your card before heading to the transfer station.
- This is only valid at the Providence Bay Transfer Station, and operating hours will remain the same (Thursday and Saturday from 1 pm - 5 pm).
- A separate bin will be clearly designated at the transfer station for these materials.
For more information regarding this process, please contact the Municipal Office at 705-377-5726.
We appreciate your patience as we work through this process and support our community during recovery.
