There could be a little something extra in your mailbox this week.

The City of Barrie has released its 2026 Waste Collection Calendar containing information about residential waste collection including maps, schedules, and waste collection tips.

City staff say if you live at a multi-residential address, you won’t receive the calendar in the mail.

However, copies will be available for pickup at city facilities by late December at the following locations:

• Service Barrie, first floor of City Hall
• Allandale Recreation Centre
• East Bayfield Community Centre
• Parkview Centre
• Peggy Hill Team Community Centre
• Barrie Public Library branches
• Barrie Landfill & Environmental Centre

Residential recycling is no longer managed by the city; Circular Materials is responsible for residential recycling with their own contract with Emterra, including recycling-related promotion, education, and customer service.

As it is not a city service, recycling information is not included in the city’s 2026 Waste Collection Calendar.

For 2026 recycling information, including collection schedules and accepted materials, residents are encouraged to visit Circular Materials for the most up-to-date information.
