Upcycling TOM 2026
SPRING 2026 - OSWW is working with the Tom Thomson Art Gallery and Hillcrest Elementary School to turn bits of single-use plastic into lasting art! Local art enthusiasts donated canvases to be recycled into interpretations of Tom Thomson’s Wildflowers painting. The works will be on display at the TOM in April 2026—we can’t wait to see them!
Non-Recyclable Items Drop-Off Campaigns
2025 - OSWW will be gathering non-recyclable plastic and other non-recycable items to ship off for recycling at the monthly Repair Cafe events at the Owen Sound Public Library. Items include worn/orphan socks, plastic non-recyclable makeup containers and oral care products.K HE
Owen Sound Merchants Reduce
We are seeking local businesses to proudly display their efforts in reducing single-use items! Look for this window sticker and ask them how they help reduce waste going into landfill.
