Your Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) service is now just a few months away and we want to help you get ready to FOGO.
From July you will be able to place food waste into your existing green lid bin with your garden waste for it to be recycled into compost. You won't need a new bin, once FOGO starts, your current green lid garden bin will become your FOGO bin.
Going FOGO and removing food waste from red lid garbage bins in Manningham is a great way we can all reduce our emissions and divert waste away from landfill. Once FOGO starts your green lid FOGO bin will be collected weekly and your red lid garbage bin will be collected fortnightly.

Why we're excited for FOGO
|
"FOGO will mean we can do even more composting. At the moment we have more food waste than we can compost ourselves so we're excited to get started. It's a great opportunity for kids to get involved and learn to be waste conscious from an early age. It will be fantastic for everyone to embrace the change and think about our future." Fi, Templestowe Lower |
