Future FOGO

What is FOGO?

FOGO = Food Organics and Green Organics

FOGO covers all the organic waste usually generated at home in the kitchen and the garden. Things like food scraps and grass clippings are obvious, however it also includes things like greasy cardboard, shredded paper and dog poo!

FOGO Trial

Within the 2024-2025 Annual Business Plan and Budget, Council approved to proceed with a trial of a FOGO kerbside collection with the intent to collect data on the feasibility of providing an ongoing FOGO service to residents across the district. Participation rates, load contamination information and service costs will all be collected to help inform Council leading into the next budget period and shape a potential service.

3 areas have been selected in the trial which include Nene Valley, Port MacDonnell and a rural living area from Crafter Road, Compton to Kilsby Road, OB Flat. Maps of these areas and specific streets in the trial.

Key dates:

• 2 December 2024 | FOGO trial commencement
• 28 February 2024 | FOGO trial concludes
