Green Bin Delivery Has Started
Owen Sound's Green Bin program collection begins in June of 2025, and green bins have started to arrive at eligible households.
Bins are being delivered by a third party contractor to the bottom of your driveway.
You do not need to be present to get your bin. If you are away for an extended time, have a friend or neighbour set it aside for you.
For Frequently Asked Questions about the Green Bin program - visit the green bin webpage here.
If you believe you have been missed for a bin delivery, or have other concerns, please submit a form here and select 'Green Bin Issue'.
In the event of a Canada Post strike, mail delivery to and from the City of Owen Sound will be disrupted. Residents are still responsible for paying tax and water bills on time. Interest and penalty charges will not be waived due to postal delays.
To avoid missed or late payments, we strongly encourage you to:
