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.
