Barrie Provides Additional Week for Yard Waste Disposal
The City of Barrie has announced an extension to its yard waste collection service, giving residents an additional week to dispose of autumn debris this season. The extended service allows homeowners to place paper bags containing yard waste at the curb for pickup during the bonus collection period.
Extended Timeline for Fall Cleanup
The collection extension was confirmed on November 25, 2025, providing Barrie residents with more flexibility for their seasonal yard maintenance. This additional week comes at a crucial time when many homeowners are completing their final fall cleanup before winter sets in.
The city's decision to extend the service recognizes the variable timing of leaf drop and the need for adequate disposal options during the peak autumn season. Residents can continue using the same paper bag collection method that has been standard throughout the yard waste program.
Proper Disposal Guidelines
City officials emphasize that residents should continue following established yard waste disposal protocols during the extended collection period. Paper bags remain the required container for yard waste, as they are compostable and environmentally friendly.
The extension aligns with Barrie's commitment to effective waste management and environmental sustainability. By providing additional collection time, the city aims to reduce the likelihood of improper disposal and encourage complete participation in the yard waste program.
This seasonal adjustment demonstrates the city's responsiveness to resident needs while maintaining its environmental objectives. The extra collection week helps ensure that Barrie properties remain clean and well-maintained throughout the transition into winter months.
