This re-entry package can be found on the tnrd.ca website on the TNRD Emergency Information page under the Information - While Evacuated and Returning Home heading. To support residents from in cleaning up upon return, tipping fees will be waived for the disposal of spoiled food. Residents can take spoiled food to their nearest Transfer Station for disposal at no cost.
