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:
Sign up for eBilling at OwenSound.ca/eBilling
Access your account anytime through Virtual City Hall at OwenSound.ca/VCH
The proposed redevelopment of the former Owen Sound Courthouse and Jail is moving forward with some demolitions and removals of the non-heritage buildings and structures in preparation for its future adaptive reuse as an event venue. The Site Plan Approval process is currently underway.
