The City of Owen Sound Leaf and Yard Waste Composting Facility, located at 2450 28th Ave. E., will be closed Wednesday, November 9, as of NOON and for the entire day, Thursday, November 10, 2022, to allow for wood grinding to occur.

The facility will resume regular operating hours of 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, 2022.

Grinding takes place annually and is completed by a third-party contractor. The equipment used for the grinding operation does not allow safe access to the site for the general public.

The City apologizes for any inconvenience the continuing site closure may cause. This year’s work has been hampered due to contractor staffing and equipment issues.

For more information, please contact Mike Crone at 519-376-4440 ext. 1201 or email [email protected].

Disposal of material at the closed gate is prohibited and monitored regularly.
