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). Place Christmas tree curbside by 7am (4:30am in the downtown BIA) on your regular curbside collection day. Christmas trees will be collected before end of day Friday. The collection contractor may adjust collection vehicle routing throughout the month to aid in efficient collection. Please ensure trees:
- 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.
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).
