The pilot will provide data on contamination rates and how a FOGO collection service can be successfully implemented across both individual households - and medium and large apartment buildings. The pilot also includes some apartment buildings in the pilot suburbs.Īll participating households in the pilot will have now received educational material, an updated collection calendar, their new kitchen caddy, supply of certified compostable liners and a FOGO bin - if they didn’t already have a lime-green lidded bin. Households using the FOGO service can compost all food scraps, including some items that would not usually go into the household compost, like meat and bones, along with garden waste. This is how most FOGO services operate across Australia.
The food scraps can then be emptied into their lime-green lidded FOGO bin, along with garden waste.įOGO bins are collected every week and rubbish bins are moving to fortnightly collection.
#HOW TO USE CABINET VISION FREE#
Through the service, participating households can put food scraps into an easy-to-use kitchen caddy and bin liners, which have been provided free of charge. The pilot in Belconnen, Bruce, Cook and Macquarie is the first step in our planning to deliver FOGO collection services across Canberra.” “We know there is strong interest in FOGO collection services, with 93 per cent of Canberrans surveyed indicating their support. Once implemented city-wide, this has the potential to reduce waste emissions by up to 30 per cent. “FOGO will help Canberrans to take everyday action on climate change by turning food and garden waste into nutrient-rich compost, thereby reducing methane gas being generated from our landfill. “The ACT FOGO pilot has begun, with four Belconnen suburbs leading the way for the rest of Canberra in removing food scraps from landfill,” said Minister for Transport and City Services Chris Steel. The ACT Government's Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) bin collection service has now commenced in selected Belconnen suburbs.
