landfill – Barrie is off to a great start!
See August for a detailed list of acceptable materials. See May for a detailed list of acceptable materials.
WHAT’S IN YOUR GARBAGE? Multi-Residential Garbage Breakdown
Household Hazardous Waste 1.2%
Yard Waste 1.3%
Paper Recycling 13%
Containers Recycling 20.7%
Organics 31.9%
Garbage 31.8%
68% of the waste collected from in Barrie’s multi-
residential sector could be diverted from the
Landfill through Barrie’s diversion programs.
We’re here to help you Rethink Waste
Need in-unit bins or extra carts? If you need a new in-unit recycling or organics bin or you
notice that your building could use more recycling and/or organics carts please notify your
Property Manager or call 705-739-4219.
A Closer Look at Your Collection Truck Garbage and organics are collected by a “split” collection truck. This collection truck holds both materials without mixing them together. These trucks are split this way to make collection more efficient instead of having one designated truck for each material type. The collector places the garbage into one compartment of the truck, and the organics into the other. Although it may appear that these items are being mixed together after you spent time separating them, the materials are completely separate and do not get mixed with each other. Grey box and blue box materials are also collected by a split collection truck. These materials are also kept completely separate and are not mixed together. Collected grey (paper) box materials are baled and shipped to recycling markets. The blue (containers) box materials are sent to a material recovery facility where they are further separated into specific material types to be marketed and made into new products.

BSEWER SYSTEMS
barrie.ca/environment
SANITARY SEWER
The sanitary sewer system is a series of underground pipes
that transport wastewater from homes and businesses to the
Wastewater Treatment Facility where it is treated before entering
Lake Simcoe.
Flushing anything other than human waste and toilet paper
down your toilet can cause problems with your household
plumbing, municipal sewer lines and the Wastewater Treatment
Facility, as well as the environment.
To maintain a properly functioning system, the following
materials CANNOT be disposed of down sinks and toilets:
• Any plastic materials
• Baby wipes & personal wipes
• Cotton swabs
• Dental floss
• Disposable diapers
• Hair from brushes or combs
• Kitchen grease
• Kitty Litter
• Medication
• Newspapers, rags or cloth
• Oil, fuels & other hazardous materials
• Sanitary napkins or plastic tampon applicators
• Sump pump water
STORM SEWER
The municipal storm sewer system collects rainwater and
surface water runoff from roads, lawns and parking lots. It
is important that ONLY rain enters the storm drains as it is
discharged, untreated, to creeks and Kempenfelt Bay. All other
waste material, such as yard waste, pet waste, hazardous waste,
etc. are not to be disposed of into catchbasins or waterways.

Winter Salt Use
Salt is essential for preventing dangerous icy conditions, but too much of it can harm our
water sources, as well as wildlife. To reduce the amount of winter salt needed at home,
use these tips:
• Always shovel first, before using salt
• Don’t use more than is needed
• Don’t use salt in very cold temperatures. Salt is less effective below -11°C, so consider
using sand or kitty litter instead when it’s very cold out.

Although the City of Barrie is very fortunate to have a large supply of high
quality water, this water supply has a limited capacity to meet demand. With a
population forecast to reach 210,000 by 2031 this demand will only increase.
Here are a few things you can do at home or at work to lower your water
consumption and save money:
1. Re-direct your downspout to your lawn, garden or rain barrel. Using a rain
barrel to collect rainwater for your lawn and garden will reduce pollution
from stormwater runoff and save you money on your water bill.
2. Add mulch to your garden to protect plants, decrease the amount of water
and weeding needed, and/or create a rain garden.
3. Water your lawn once a week (2.5cm of water) to encourage strong root
growth:
If you don’t have a rain gauge, place an empty tuna can on your lawn or in
your garden. Time how long it takes to fill the can and that’s how long you
should water your lawn.
Remember to only water your lawn on your day (odd/even according to
your address) in accordance with the City’s Regulatory Matters By-Law.
4. Test your toilets for leaks:
Put a few drops of food colouring in the tank and wait 10 to 15 minutes. If
the colour shows up in the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak.
Fixing leaks can save you up to 200,000 litres of water per year.
Working together will ensure our community enjoys high quality drinking water
today and for generations to come.
