What goes in my FOGO bin?

Loose is Lovely! Layer up!

Tip food scraps from your reusable kitchen container, or paper shopping bag, straight into the FOGO bin.

Food Waste:

✅ All vegetable, fruit and food scraps, including citrus and onions
✅ Cooked, spoiled or raw food
✅ Meat, bones, seafood, eggs, eggshells,
✅ Dairy, milk, cheese, yoghurt 
✅ Bread, rice, cakes, pasta

✅ Food-soiled cardboard pizza, takeaway boxes and paper packaging

Garden waste: 

✅ Lawn clippings, leaves, flowers, weeds (including noxious) 
✅ Veggie patch scraps, small branches 
✅ Prunings, small branches (under 30cm long & 10cm thick)

If in doubt, leave it out!

💡 Pro Tip: Line the bottom of your bin with newspaper, a paper bag, or cardboard to soak up any leaks and prevent waste from sticking to the bottom.
