Worn or Torn Donation Drive - July 02, 2025

We are excited to launch the Worn or Torn clothing and textile donation drive with Goodwill Industries, Ontario Great Lakes and Fanshawe College from July 2 to July 20, 2025! 

This pilot project encourages Byron residents to donate their old clothing and textiles instead of sending them to landfill. This pilot project begins with the Byron area this year, and will be measured to help determine potential growth of the donation drive in the future.

Byron residents can participate by donating their old textiles, regardless of their condition – such as sheets, blankets, towels, rags, pillows and stuffed animals – at the Goodwill Donation Centre (1570 Oxford St W) located next to the City of London Oxford Street EnviroDepot  (1450 Oxford St W) during the donation period.

A key aspect of this pilot project is that we will also be accepting “end-of-life” textiles – meaning items that are no longer fit for their original purpose, like a stained shirt or ripped towel. This is in addition to lightly used clothing and other textiles many have been donating for years.
