Fall Curbside Textile Collection will take place in Barrie next week.
This past spring, residents helped keep over 151,000 lbs. of textiles out of the City’s landfill.
The fall curbside collection of textiles, which includes clothing, linens and shoe will happen between September 27 to October 1, 2021.
Donating your items is easy:
- Look up your textile collection day (note that textile collection day is the business day AFTER your regular waste curbside collection day).
- Place your items in a waterproof bag. Clear bags are preferred, but you can leave your textiles in any bag. Please label the bag(s) as “textiles”.
- Put your bag(s) out on the curb on your textile collection day by 7 a.m., rain or shine.
Visit recyclingrewards.com/barrie or call 1-866-927-3873 to determine your collection day, to view the full list of acceptable items or if you have questions. Frequently asked questions are posted on the Recycling Rewards website.
The curbside textile collection is for individual residential homes in Barrie (detached, semi-detached, townhouse). If you live in a multi-residential building (apartment or condominium) and would like textile collection, please contact your superintendent or property manager and ask them to contact Recycling Rewards to arrange a textile pick-up or a bin for your location.
The City of Barrie will regularly offer two curbside textile collections each year, in the late spring and in the early fall. Visit barrie.ca/CurbsideCollection for more information.
