Yard Waste Removal Barrie
A lot of Barrie homeowners find out the hard way that the city's yard waste program has limits. The Emterra truck comes every other week from April through November and it takes bagged leaves, grass clippings, and bundled branches up to a certain size.
What it does not take is the old fence panels stacked against the back of the garage. Or the pile of excavated soil from the garden project that wrapped up in September. Or the scrap metal from the patio set that finally gave out. That is where ALL PRO Junk Removal comes in.
Lucas Cole has been clearing yard debris across Barrie, Innisfil, Wasaga Beach, and surrounding areas since 2020. One call, one visit, yard cleared.

What Barrie Homeowners Get When the City Program
Stops Short
One call, one visit, everything gone
He Works Quietly and Gets the Full Yard
Lucas has cleared backyards in Holly, Painswick, and the South End where the debris had been sitting since the ice storm tore through in spring 2025. He does not clear the visible pile and leave the corners. Every part of the yard that needs to go gets loaded.
You Do Not Have to Sort It First
Branches, old fence panels, excess soil, scrap metal from a garden project, and general debris can all go in the same job. Lucas sorts what needs separating for recycling on site. You point at what goes and he handles the rest.
The Price Is Set Before the Truck Gets Loaded
One of the most common complaints about junk removal in Barrie is a quote that changes when the crew arrives. Lucas gives a firm price after seeing the yard. Soil, fence posts set in concrete, demolition debris from a shed or deck, all of it gets factored in before anything moves.
Yard Waste and Debris Removal Barrie
The most common call Lucas gets in April and May is from a homeowner standing in the backyard for the first time since November, looking at everything that accumulated and realizing the city program is not going to solve it. Branches that came down in a windstorm and got dragged to the side yard. Old raised bed lumber pulled out during a fall project. A section of fence that leaned until it gave up entirely. A pile of old soil nobody has figured out what to do with.
That call also comes in October when the season ends and the yard looks like a project that got away from itself.
Yard debris removal through ALL PRO covers organic material, old landscaping components, fencing materials, excess soil, scrap metal, and anything that has built up over one season or several. Lucas loads it and it leaves. The yard is usable again.

What the City Collects and What It Does Not
Barrie's curbside yard waste program collects leaves, grass, garden waste, and branches that are appropriately sized and bundled, every other week from April through November, alternating with your garbage collection week. Fruit and vegetables from a garden do not qualify as yard waste under the city program and go in the organics cart instead.
What the program does not collect is everything heavier, bulkier, or non-organic. Fence posts and panels. Old soil and excavated material. Scrap metal. Construction and demolition debris from a deck or shed removal. These items can be brought to the
Barrie landfill at 272 Ferndale Drive North for a fee, but that requires a vehicle large enough to haul the material, the time to do it, and someone to help load it. Most people do not have all three lined up on the same Saturday.

Branches & Organic Debris
Storm fallout, season-end garden waste, hedge trimmings, grass clippings, pulled weeds, and leaf buildup that the Emterra truck cannot handle. Organic yard debris that has accumulated over one season or several gets loaded and removed completely. -
Fence, Soil & Hard Materials
Old fence panels, posts set in concrete, excess soil from landscaping changes, scrap metal from patio furniture and project leftovers. The material the city program explicitly excludes is the material ALL PRO regularly removes. It leaves the yard, not just the curb. -
Responsible Disposal
Scrap metal gets separated for recycling on site. Organic material goes to composting where the load allows. What cannot be diverted goes to the Barrie landfill at Ferndale Drive properly, not dumped somewhere off the 400. Barrie's Waste Management bylaw sets fines up to $5,000 for illegal dumping. Lucas disposes of everything the right way.
Yard Debris Removal Barrie
Old patio furniture with metal frames. Fence hardware. Leftover metal from projects past. Scrap metal in the yard gets included in the debris removal haul and separated for recycling where appropriate. It does not need to be sorted in advance. Lucas handles that on the job.
Fence Removal Barrie
An old wood fence that has leaned past the point of coming back is one of the most common yard calls Lucas gets across Barrie neighbourhoods. Pulling fence posts that were set in concrete takes significantly more time and effort than posts set in soil, and that is a detail a lot of companies leave out of the initial quote and add back in after the work starts. Lucas tells you what the job involves before it begins. The posts come out, the panels come down, the hardware gets sorted, and the whole structure leaves the property in one visit.
Fence removal happens as a standalone job or as part of a broader yard debris clearance depending on what the yard needs.

Three Reasons Barrie Homeowners Call Lucas
Instead of Renting a Bin
The bin sits in the driveway for a week and you still have to load it yourself
-
The Full Yard. One Visit
A bin rental charges by full truckload regardless of how much space you actually use. Lucas prices on volume and clears the whole yard in one job including the corners, the shed footprint, the area under the old deck, and the scrap metal nobody has moved in two years. -
The Quote Stays Fixed.
The most consistent complaint across Barrie junk removal reviews is a price that looks different on arrival than it did on the phone. Lucas quotes after seeing the yard in person. That number is the number. -
Local, Licensed, Insured.
Lucas Cole started ALL PRO locally and has run yard debris jobs across Barrie, Innisfil, and Simcoe County ever since. Fully licensed and insured on every job. If illegal dumping carries a fine of up to $5,000 under Barrie's Waste Management bylaw, you want to know exactly where your debris is going.
Soil Removal Barrie
Excess soil from a landscaping project, an old raised bed being pulled out, or a small excavation job is heavy, awkward, and genuinely difficult to move without the right equipment. A cubic yard of moist soil can weigh close to a tonne. The city program does not collect it and most bin rental companies charge by full truckload regardless of how much space the soil actually takes. ALL PRO handles soil removal as part of a yard debris job priced on the volume of what is actually being removed, not on the size of the truck it could theoretically fill.
Deck Removal Debris Barrie
After a deck comes down, the yard debris extends past the structure itself. Material stored under the deck for years, old landscape fabric and gravel around the perimeter, post holes and surrounding disturbed ground, leftover hardware and fasteners. Lucas clears the full footprint and the surrounding area as part of the deck removal scope. The job is not done when the last board is off the frame.

Shed Demolition Debris Barrie
Same situation after a shed comes down. The area around the shed holds years of accumulated debris including old tools, scrap wood, loose hardware, and whatever got stored against the outside walls and forgotten. ALL PRO clears the shed footprint and the surrounding yard area as part of the demolition job. Allandale and Kempenfelt Bay area properties tend to have older sheds that have been standing for decades. Taking one down usually reveals a full cleanup project underneath and around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
- QuestionDoes the City of Barrie pick up yard waste at the curb?AnswerThe city collects bagged leaves, grass, garden waste, and small bundled branches every other week from April through November through the Emterra contract. Bulky items, fence materials, soil, scrap metal, and demolition debris are not part of the program. Those items have to go to the Ferndale Drive landfill or be handled by a private hauler.
- QuestionWill ALL PRO remove soil and dirt from my yard?AnswerYes. Excess soil from landscaping changes, raised bed removal, or small excavation projects is something Lucas handles as part of a yard debris job. Soil is heavy and awkward to move without the right setup. The pricing is based on the volume being removed, not on a flat truckload rate.
- QuestionCan ALL PRO take down and remove an old fence?AnswerYes. Fence removal including posts set in concrete, panels, and all associated hardware is a regular job. Lucas quotes the full scope before starting, including whether posts are soil-set or concrete-set, since that affects how long the job takes. No surprises after the work is done.
- QuestionHow much does yard debris removal cost in Barrie?AnswerIt depends on the volume and type of material. A straightforward load of branches, old garden material, and landscape debris will cost less than a job that involves soil removal, fence posts, or scrap metal. Lucas provides a firm quote after seeing the yard. That number does not change when the truck is loaded.
- QuestionCan you clear yard debris after a deck or shed removal?AnswerYes, and it is standard practice for Lucas to include the surrounding yard area in a deck or shed removal job. The debris does not stop at the edge of the structure. Old material stored under decks and around shed footprints is part of the clearance scope.
- QuestionDoes ALL PRO sort scrap metal for recycling?AnswerMetal materials from yard debris including old patio furniture frames, fence hardware, and project leftovers get separated for recycling where possible. You do not need to sort it in advance.
- QuestionCan you remove yard debris from Innisfil and Wasaga Beach, not just Barrie?Answeres. ALL PRO serves Innisfil, Wasaga Beach, Angus, Orillia, Collingwood, and Bradford in addition to Barrie. Call or text (705) 321-3965 to confirm availability for your address.
