What's the go with FOGO?

If you are part of the first stage of the FOGO rollout, your caddy and a year's worth of liners have been delivered to your property.

 

The new FOGO service will allow you to place all food waste, including meat and bones, into your FOGO bin. It will be collected weekly and your general waste/rubbish bin (red lid) will be collected fortnightly.

 

It is estimated that over the next year alone, more than 2 million kilos of food waste will be diverted from landfill.

 

If you haven't received your caddy/liners, please call us on 5422 0333.

Delivery of glass-only bins

Glass-only bin deliveries will be completed by the end of February. 

 

Once you receive your bin, please start using it straight away. Collection will be every four weeks as marked on your collection calendar.

 

If you haven't received your bin, please continue to keep glass out of your recycling bin and use the temporary public place glass-only bins. These will be removed by the end of March once all glass-bins have been delivered. 

 

All glass collected is being processed and reused in construction materials.
