Port Phillip, VIC diverts organic waste from landfills with FOGO hub and curbside collection pilots

Port Phillip, VIC Curbside Collection Hub Waste Pilots

En curso

The council installed communal food and garden organics (FOGO) hubs at three public locations for six months. Public hubs allowed residents with limited space to keep compostable materials out of general waste bins. Households in the Elwood suburb were selected for an 11-month FOGO waste collection pilot because they had enough space for extra bins. Collected waste was sent to a Cleanaway processing facility and turned into compost for public parks.

FOGO stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics; that's your food scraps and waste from the garden. Based on our 2019 waste audits, these organics make up 46 per cent of the waste in our bins at home.
