FOGO project (Food Organics and Garden Organics)

FOGO stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics. This is an exciting new three-bin kerbside collection system that will be adopted by the City of Swan in 2024. Properties will soon have three bins – recycling (yellow lid), general waste (red lid) and FOGO waste (lime green-lid).

The FOGO bin will collect organic food and garden materials which will be processed into FOGO products, such as compost or soil conditioner.

This project will align with the Waste Authority’s Better practice: FOGO kerbside collection guidelines.
