| Reuse Depot | ||
| The Reuse Depot expanded in 2018 to include household items like furniture, paintings, dishes and books that residents can take free of charge. Many of the materials that come into the Household Hazardous Waste Depot are still useable, so they are put aside for other residents to take free of charge at the Reuse Depot.
If you need paint or refinishing products, the Reuse Depot might have just what you need. Available items include:
The Reuse Depot is open during regular site hours. During the winter, paints and chemicals are not set aside because the building is not heated. |

| Treasure Hunt Program | ||
| The Treasure Hunt Program runs on the third weekend of the month from May to October to encourage the recycling or re-use of large household items. It’s like a community garage sale!
Leave unwanted but still useful household items at the curb after 5:00 p.m. on the Friday of the event weekend and remember to remove all uncollected items by Sunday at 11:00 p.m. Residents who fail to remove uncollected “treasures” from the curb will be subject to fines pursuant to Chapter 877 of the City of Orillia Municipal Code – Solid Waste Management. Residents are reminded to take items placed at the curb only. Do not take any items from the lawn. All treasures are claimed in “as is” condition. Happy Treasure Hunting! |

| Assistive Device Exchange Program | ||
 Don't waste that wheelchair! 
Do you have a walker or other assistive device that you no longer use? Do you need a wheelchair & would like to save money? We have a solution... The Assistive Device Exchange is a locally based website which allows used adaptive equipment to be re-used. People with equipment that they no longer need, may list the equipment either for sale, or offer it for free. People who need equipment can search the website to obtain equipment at reduced or no cost. Visit the Assistive Device Exchange website here. For more information contact the Accessibility Resource Centre at Independent Living Services of Simcoe County and area at 705-737-3263 x 239. |

| Reuse It! | ||
| Do you have something that might be of value to someone and it is just taking up space? Why not make it available for re-use by someone else? Freecycle Orillia is a free, on-line bulletin board where you can post (OFFER) your item, or if you are looking for something you can ask for an item (WANTED). Once your item is posted on this bulletin board, interested parties contact you via e-mail, and you choose who to give it to and where they can pick it up. No trades, no bartering, no money. The main rule is that everything posted must be free, legal, and appropriate for all ages. It's a great way to cut your costs and/or clear your house or garage.
The program helps ensure good things stay out of landfills. Visit www.freecycle.org and type in Orillia under Find a group near you for more information.
