Where Does it Go?
Not sure how to dispose of an item in Barrie? Look it up to see how it's properly sorted for curbside pickup or otherwise. If unable to find what you're looking for, please call 705-739-4219 or e-mail RethinkWaste@barrie.ca to have the item added appropriately to the search results.
Note: While Barrie is geographically located in Simcoe County, the City of Barrie is governed separately. There are some differences to sorting items for curbside collection in the County and the City as different processors are used. If you live in the City of Barrie, please refer to this lookup tool to be certain where items should go.
The Importance of 7am to Curbside Collection: Please ensure materials are curbside by 7am for collection. Collectors complete routes between 7am and 6pm; however, routing changes that could affect collection times can often occur for a number of reasons including weather, road closures and vehicle breakdowns. If items are not curbside by 7am the City cannot guarantee they will be collected.
