Final call for extended hours and free brush disposal at Barrie landfill
Saturday is the final day for Barrie residents to be able to dispose of brush and yard waste at the landfill free of charge. The City waived disposal fees for residential brush and yard waste following the ice storm in March to help residents manage the amount of debris that piled up, but that comes to an end tomorrow. Starting Saturday, regular disposal fees will apply once again to all materials. Also ending is the extended landfill hours, which was adjusted following the ice storm due to demand. Saturday will mark the last time the Ferndale Drive landfill will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., following May 31, it will return to its regular operating time of 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Residents are also reminded that the city is offering one last chance to pile storm-related debris at the curb for collection. Residents must have debris curbside no later than June 1 to guarantee pickup by crews making the rounds between June 2 and June 7.

What you need to know for the final ice storm debris curbside collection
The City of Barrie reminds residents to have their ice storm debris at the curb by Sun., June 1 to guarantee collection one last time. Crews will make the rounds to collect ice storm debris during the week of June 2 to 7. Only storm-related tree debris will be picked up. The City says to help crews, neatly pile brush at the curb avoiding obstructing sidewalks, fire hydrants or roads. For thicker pieces of brush and logs, the City asks they be placed with the freshly-cut ends facing the road. Regular yard waste will continue to be collected as usual for all non-storm-related materials. Meanwhile, brush tipping fees at the landfill site are still being waived until Sat., May 31. The Ferndale Drive North landfill is open Tuesday to Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Looking for an extension on your speeding ticket payment? Look no further
If you need an extension on your speeding ticket payment, you may be in luck. Starting Wednesday, Barrie drivers who are caught going over the speed limit where an Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) camera is operating will now face a 'Penalty Order.' This order will be processed through the city's Administrative Penalty System. Under the new system, the driver can dispute or request an appeal of the penalty with a screening officer. Screening officers may confirm or cancel the administrative penalty, reduce the amount of the administrative penalty or grant additional time to pay your unlucky ticket. Administrative penalties will still be sent in the mail. In the event of a Canada Post labour disruption, penalty orders may be delivered by an alternate courier says the city. This city says this is a change from the current system issued through 'Offence Notices,' which are processed by the Provincial Offences Court system. Current ASE tickets do not go on a person's driving record and demerit points are not issued. All appeals and extensions will be conducted electronically and can be found here.
