Curbside Pickup

Homes and businesses in the Village of Barry's Bay receive curbside pickup. This weekly program picks up garbage, recycling, and organics, and collects ashes and yard waste seasonally. Collection schedules are delivered to all properties that receive curbside pickup in December. If you didn't receive one or lost yours, additional copies are available at the Municipal Office.

Clear Garbage Bags

All household garbage must be in a clear bag or open container so waste is visible and easily identified. This ensures recyclables and hazardous waste does not end up in our landfill.

Garbage Stickers

All garbage bags (curbside and dropped at waste sites) must have a blue municipal garbage tag affixed. Tags are available at:

Township Office (Barry’s Bay)
Barry’s Bay MacEwan
Barry’s Bay Shell
Barry’s Bay Ultramar
Herron’s Store (Barry’s Bay)
CO Country Market (Combermere)

Illegal Dumping

Illegal dumping is the dumping of waste anywhere except approved waste disposal sites. This includes in the bush, along the road, on private property, and at the gate of a waste site. Incidents are investigated by By-Law and offenders will be fined.

Brush Drop Off

The Township allows for free brush drop off at the Bark Lake Waste Disposal Site. Brush is accepted year round during regular operating hours.
