City of Melbourne is introducing a food and garden organics (FOGO) service to selected apartment buildings in Melbourne.
FOGO allows food scraps and garden waste to be collected separately and turned into compost, rather than going to landfill. Introducing FOGO supports our waste reduction goals and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is also required under the Victorian Government’s Circular Economy Act 2021.
City of Melbourne has pulled together a range of information that supports building managers as they roll out the new service, and includes information on how the service works, why your building is receiving it and what you need to do.
