Simcoe County is bringing back its curbside collection program for clothing and textiles this month to help divert these materials away from landfills.
During this two-week program, running June 7-18, the County will collect clean, dry, and odour free clothes from households including those that cannot be re-used.
Simcoe County residents should have received pink plastic bags for clothing and textiles in the mail.
Pick-up will take place on your regular collection day during your clothing collection week.
*Does not apply to residents of Barrie & Orillia.
Acceptable items include:
• Textiles placed out for collection may be torn, unfashionable, stained, and have buttons missing or broken zippers
• Used clean clothing and undergarments
• Towels and linens (pillows)
• Coats and outerwear
• Hats, belts and scarves
• Purses, backpacks, sleeping bags and luggage
• Shoes, socks and mittens in pairs (wrap with elastic to hold together)

Clothing collection is back! Use the pink bags received in the mail in May to collect clean, dry clothes/textiles that you no longer need & set curbside with your regular waste for the weeks of June 7 & 14! *Does not apply to residents of Barrie & Orillia. https://t.co/mhBnjF0G7y pic.twitter.com/oFPuzaLyKw
