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:
Removing your FOGO service does not reduce the cost of your waste service, nor can this bin be swapped for another bin type.
General waste bins will still be collected on a fortnightly basis.
You can’t upsize your general waste bin until six weeks after you transition to the three-bin system. To check your eligibility date please search for your property on find my bin day.
You can’t request additional general waste bins until six weeks after you transition to the three-bin system. To check your eligibility date please search for your property on find my bin day.
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.
