What is FOGO?

FOGO stands for ‘Food Organics and Garden Organics’ and is the green-lid bin at home. Anything that grows (or once grew) belongs in the green-lid FOGO bin, most importantly FOOD! This includes all food waste (including meat, fish, bones, dairy/eggs, fruit, vegetables, and bread), soiled paper products (shredded paper, paper towel, tissues, and pizza boxes), Australian certified compostable packaging, and all garden organics (e.g. grass clippings and hedge trimmings). Material placed in the green-lid FOGO bin is collected by SOLO and taken to a commercial composting facility where it is turned into compost.
