FOGO for businesses

Businesses that pay the City’s standard waste charge for kerbside collection will transition to the new three-bin system that includes FOGO. 

This system will include a 240L weekly FOGO collection, 140L fortnightly general waste collection and 360L fortnightly recycling collection.

What are my options?

Depending on your business, the new three-bin system may work well for you. If it doesn’t some other options are available:

Option one: Transition to the FOGO three-bin system

  • You will keep your yellow-lid recycling bin. It will be collected on your fortnightly recycling bin day
  • Your current dark green general waste lid will be replaced with a lime green FOGO lid. Your FOGO bin will be collected every week
  • You will receive a new kitchen caddy
  • You will receive a new 140L red-lid general waste bin. It will be collected every fortnight on the alternate week to your recycling bin day.

Option two: Make changes to the standard three-bin system

You may find that the standard three-bin system does not meet your needs. You can make the following changes: 

Option three: Engage a private commercial waste company

If you find a larger, more frequent general waste bin collection is essential for your operations, you can cancel your current bin services provided by the City. 

You can independently engage a commercial waste company to manage your waste.
