What is FOGO?

🌱 New to FOGO?

Welcome! Whether you've just received your council caddy or you've had FOGO for a while and still have questions, we've got you covered.

FOGO stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics.

Many councils across Australia have introduced the FOGO system to help reduce the amount of food waste going to landfill and turn it into valuable compost.

The system typically includes a kitchen caddy for collecting your everyday food scraps and a lime-lidded FOGO bin for disposing of both food and garden organics.

Once collected, these materials are processed together to create nutrient-rich compost, giving food and garden waste a second life instead of sending it to landfill.

Whether you're new to FOGO or looking for ways to make it easier, we're here to help you get the most out of the system 🌱
