Community Clean-up

In April, we clean-up. Help keep Saugeen Shores beautiful by joining our annual Community Clean-Up Week. Each April, individuals and groups are invited to volunteer their time to tidy up local parks and community spaces. 

Clean-up kits are available for volunteers before the scheduled dates. Whether you're volunteering solo, as part of a group, or looking to earn community service hours, your efforts make a big difference. 

Spread the word! 

Let others know you're participating and challenge your friends, neighbours or teammates to join you. 

If you require community hours, please email recreation@saugeenshores.ca before your clean-up. 

Check out this space next spring for more information. 

FoodCycler™ Program 

Did you know up to 50% of household waste comes from food scraps? 

Saugeen Shores residents can now reduce their environmental impact by participating in our FoodCycler™ program; an in-home food waste recycling solution available at a subsidized rate. 

Since the start of the pilot program, residents purchased FoodCycler™ 591 units. 

Units are available for purchase at the municipal office.
