Registrations still open Be part of our bin trial - Click here to sign up We are recruiting just 1,000 households in Kingston Park, Seacliff and parts of Somerton Park and North Brighton to join us in helping change our community’s waste habits. Starting 21 September 2020, in a South Australian first, we’re trialing a voluntary change to kerbside bin collections, designed to divert food waste away from landfill. The 12-month voluntary trial involves switching the collection frequency of Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) green bins to weekly, and red landfill bins to fortnightly, to make recycling food waste more convenient. Placing all your food and garden waste in the FOGO bin reduces waste sent to landfill. It provides our South Australian food growers with nutrient rich compost, creates jobs and reduces landfill fees. This a 12 month trial begins 21 September 2020 through to 8 September 2021.
