FOGO - Food Organics Garden Organics Trial

  • Week 2- FOGO Update 6 September 2021

    Council's Waste Team hit the pavement this week to talk to residents about FOGO.

    Fortnightly general waste collection is now in place and we were interested to see any changes in behaviour from our community.

    This week we collected a total of 4.86 tonnes of food and garden organic material to be processed on our static aerated floor to create compost as part of the trial.

    In addition to this amazing result, contamination levels were at a mere 0.8 per cent which largely consisted of glass bottles and plastic containers that belong in the yellow bin.

    Thank you to those participating in the trial for this wonderful result!

    To date, we have approximately 11.46 tonnes of organic material cooking away on our static aerated floor to make compost, which is equivalent to the weight of an African Elephant.

    Thankyou and well done!
