About Waste Reduction Week: 

The City is recognizing October as Circular Economy Month, and October 19 to 25 as Waste Reduction Week. One way the City supports a circular economy (a system where items are kept in circulation as long as possible) is by educating residents on ways to minimize and better manage their waste.

For more information on the City’s circular economy framework and ways you can support a circular economy, visit barrie.ca/CircularEconomy. To learn more about reducing food waste, single-use plastics, and textile waste, visit barrie.ca/ReThinkWaste.
