• Barrie Wastewater Treatment Facility, 167 Bradford Street
• Sadlon Arena, 555 Bayview Drive
• Allandale Recreation Centre, 190 Bayview Drive
   

Contact Recycling Rewards at 1-866-927-3873 or info@recyclingrewards.com if you have questions about the collection bins.

The City of Barrie offers two curbside textile collections each year, in the late spring and in early fall. During the collection weeks, any type of plastic bag marked “textiles" is collected curbside on specified days. Visit barrie.ca/TextileCollectionWeek for the latest information.

The collected textiles directly support Cornerstone to Recovery, a non-profit charitable agency that provides community-based recover programs for individuals and families experiencing and impacted by addiction.

Please consider donating used clothing through local re-use stores and/or pickup services, including:

• Declutter Diabetes
• Kidney Clothes Donation Program
• Recycling Rewards
• re-Source Thrift Shop
• Salvation Army Thrift Store
• Stuff
• Talize
• Value Village

There are also many consignment stores in Barrie that each accept specific types of clothing brands and styles.

If you run a clothing store or service that accepts used clothing donations and helps divert clothing from the City's landfill, please email RethinkWaste@barrie.ca to request your store be added to this list.
