Textile Curbside Collection Program

We want your used clothing, footwear and linens.

Did you know 85% of all textiles end up in landfills despite 95% being fully recyclable? Currently, there are approximately 500 million pounds of textiles sitting in Canadian landfills. Textiles put tremendous strain on our environment. Decomposing clothing and other household materials release methane, a harmful greenhouse gas and significant contributor to global warming.  Recycling Rewards has been diverting textiles from landfills since 2005.

***In response to feedback from Barrie residents, textiles can be placed in any type of waterproof plastic bag. Please print off the following poster and attach it to your bag, or add a note that says TEXTILES and attach it to the bag.

What happens to donated items:
