FOGO information sessions coming up

The cycle of composting, food waste in a bin is composted and used to grow new fruit and vegetables which is then eaten and scraps are returned to the bin for composting.

The way we collect waste is changing.

From 2 October this year, a new Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) kerbside collection service is set to make it easier than ever to reduce waste and stop material going to landfill, while reducing harmful greenhouse gases.

The new service will provide people with the opportunity to place garden clippings and food scraps, including meat and bones, into the FOGO bin instead of the rubbish bin, saving around 13,500 tonnes (or 1,700 garbage trucks) of food waste going to landfill every year.
