Join us in celebrating International Compost Awareness Week— a global movement that highlights the importance of composting and building healthy soils for a sustainable future!
This year’s theme: “Compost… Nature’s Climate Champion!”
By using your FOGO bin, you’re already helping — one banana peel a time.
Why Composting with FOGO Matters:
- Keeps food and garden waste out of landfill
- Reduces methane — a potent greenhouse gas
- Turns food scraps into rich compost to grow new life
- Supports local circular economies
What Can Go in Your FOGO Bin?
- Fruit & vegetable scraps
- Take away food
- Meat & bones (raw or cooked)
- Bread, cakes, pasta & rice
- Loose tea leaves & coffee grounds
- Spoiled food (removed from packaging)
- Eggshells, eggs & dairy products
- Flowers and herbs
- Seafood (shells, bones)
- Grass clippings, leaves & small branches
- Compostable liners (limited)
- Compostable bags (provided by Council AS4736) or purchased according to our Compostable Liner Guide
- Paper towel (limited) used to collect and transfer food waste to the FOGO
Let’s work together to turn food scraps into soil gold. Composting is a simple yet powerful way to make a big impact.
