Updates to FOGO requirements

Published on Tuesday, 11 August 2026 at 1:39:19 PM

FOGO is now for three things only:

Food organics, garden waste, and compostable liners.

Items previously accepted such as dog poo and stained cardboard take away containers, must now go in your red lid bin.

Updated guidance – what goes into your FOGO Bin:

  • Food scraps (fruit, vegetables, meat, bones, dairy)
  • Garden waste (grass clippings, small branches, weeds)
  • Certified compostable caddy liners with the AS 4736 seedling logo
