Recent changes mean only three things belong in your FOGO bin:
✅ Certified compostable bags (AS4736)
To help reduce contamination and improve the quality of compost produced, some items can no longer be placed in FOGO bins, including:
🚫 Compostable packaging
🚫 Pet waste
🚫 Paper towel
🚫 Shredded paper
By placing the right materials in your FOGO bin, you're supporting a more sustainable waste system and helping turn organic waste into a valuable resource for parks, gardens and agriculture.
