Proper disposal of this item is described below.
Christmas trees are collected weekly in January (beginning the first full week of the month and ending the last full week) on your regular curbside collection day. Please ensure trees:
- are placed curbside as close as possible to your collection day
- are placed curbside by 7am (4:30am in the downtown BIA)
- are free of plastic wrap/bags, decorations, and stands
- are visible at the end of the driveway
- are not placed on top of, or stuck into, snowbanks
- do not exceed 1.8 meters or 6 feet in length
Trees taller than 1.8 m (6 ft) must be cut in half to fit in the collection truck.
If it snows or snow removal equipment buries the tree after the tree has been placed out for collection, please remove the snow so the tree is visible and accessible to the collector.
Barrie residents can also drop off Christmas trees at the landfill for free for composting (must be free of ornaments, bags, stands and plastic of any kind).
