Council has introduced a compulsory Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) waste kerbside service for all Southern Grampians Shire residents currently receiving the compulsory waste and recycling service.
The FOGO bin is for food waste and garden waste and is collected fortnightly, on the same day as the garbage. (Refer to the waste calendar for your zone).
The organic waste is transported to Camperdown, where it is composted and used as a fertiliser and soil improver on farms.
Please keep in mind that only materials that can be composted should be placed in your organic waste bin.
You are responsible for keeping your organics bin in working condition. Lost or damaged bins (unless done so by the contractor) will need to be replaced. Please contact Customer Service on 5573 0444 for costs and further information.
