Article Content
Manningham residents have achieved impressive environmental gains since introducing our Food Organics Garden Waste (FOGO) service, cutting the waste sent to landfill by half and more than doubling our organic waste.
In the first year of FOGO, more than 24,600 tonnes of food and organic waste has been composted – that’s equivalent to the weight of 10 Mullum Mullum Stadiums.
This significant reduction in landfill is helping reduce climate emissions, contributing to a healthier environment and resilient community.
It will also minimise the impact of the rising landfill levy, which is set to increase by an estimated 30 per cent in July 2025.
Manningham’s accomplishments can be attributed to the community’s commitment to working together toward environmental sustainability.
Residents are being encouraged to stay FOGO focused and continue their efforts to protect the environment for future generations.
This involves placing the correct items in FOGO bins and only using the certified lime green compostable liners.
Eligible items for FOGO bins include food waste, grass clippings, prunings, weeds, leaves and other garden waste. Each Manningham household can collect a free roll of 150 compostable liners (approximately one year’s supply) at the Manningham Civic Centre or Council Depot.
For more information, visit manningham.vic.gov.au/FOGO
