Port Phillip, VIC diverts organic waste from landfills with FOGO hub and curbside collection pilots
Port Phillip, VIC Curbside Collection Hub Waste Pilots
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.

City officials extended the communal hub pilot through January 2023 with three additional locations. This pilot also made Port Phillip a finalist in the Waste category of the Keep Victoria Beautiful Sustainable Cities Awards 2021. The Elwood FOGO pilot was also extended after a successful year in operation.
