The rollout of FOGO starter kits to unit complexes with 30 units or more and existing green lidded bins has started.
Remondis, Wollongong City Council’s waste management contractor, is working with strata managers and strata committees across the city on the introduction of FOGO into unit complexes.
Through the introduction of FOGO, Remondis will ensure the complexes have appropriate signage and quantity of green-lidded organic bins to cater for the residents’ needs.
The rollout is expected to continue into early next year, with around 100 individual unit complexes needing to be contacted and an assessment carried out to understand their signage and bin needs for the varying unit complexes. These key steps will assist with educating the residents on FOGO best practice and help ensure the food organics collected from the units is uncontaminated by other household waste materials and able to eventually be turned into quality compost.
As when FOGO was launched last November, the FOGO kits delivered to each unit will include a welcome letter, FOGO user guide, kitchen caddy and a roll of 150 compostable caddy liners.
