What about the smelly stuff?

A weekly FOGO collection means you can send all your food scraps to be composted without having to worry about smell or waiting another week for collection.

If you’re worried about the smell of nappies and other hygiene products:

• Dispose of as much solid waste into the toilet as possible
• Wrap dirty nappies and hygiene products in a tightly closed plastic bag
• Try reusable nappies or hygiene products, even for part of the time
• Store your blue/red landfill bin the shade
• Make sure the lid closes properly
• Rinse food containers before placing in the recycling bin
• Place a small amount of odour control in the bottom of your bin such as vinegar, eucalyptus or mint oils.
