Find out what the FOGO service is and how it works. ...
Your food organics garden organics (FOGO) bin (green lid) is used to recycle food waste, grass clippings, prunings, weeds, leaves and other garden waste.
FOGO liners will be available for collection from the Manningham Civic Centre and the Manningham Depot from 1 May 2024.
From May 2024 each household with a residential waste service will be eligible for a free roll of compostable liners. Liners will be available from our Civic Centre or Council Depot. You will need to present your proof of residency (a rates notice or driver's licence) when collecting the liners.
FOGO liner contamination
Not all liners are the same, some compostable liners take longer (and require different conditions) to break down. Any liners that are not lime green, or don’t meet the required AS4736 standards will be considered contamination and may result in your FOGO bin not being emptied.
Although there are compostable liners available at our local supermarkets these cannot be used in our FOGO bins as they are not lime green and may be mistaken as contamination.

From May 2024 each household with a Council FOGO service will be eligible to collect a free roll of 150 compostable liners (per calendar year). Liners can be collected from
You will be required to show proof of residency (rates notice or driver's licence) when collecting the liners.
If you are unable to collect your liners you can send a family member or friend to collect your liners. They will need to bring proof of your residency such as a rates notice or driver's licence.
If you can eat it or it grew in the ground it will be able to go in your green lid FOGO bin.
What can go in:
What cannot go in:
The food and garden waste collected from Manningham households will be sent to the Bio Gro organics facility where it will be transformed into high-grade compost. The compost will be used in farms across Victoria.
Firstly, well done for composting at home. You can keep composting as the FOGO service can complement your existing efforts. You can place certain items into your FOGO bin that some home composting systems can't accept such as cooked foods, meat, bones, dairy and citrus.
If you don't have a compost bin, we offer a range of discounted composting products through Compost Community.
The FOGO service is one of the simplest ways we can all reduce carbon emissions and achieve our state-wide goal of halving the amount of waste that is sent to landfill by 2030. In landfill, food waste creates methane, a harmful greenhouse gas emission that contributes to climate change.
Before the introduction of FOGO, 56 per cent of waste found in the average red lid garbage bin in Manningham was food waste. The FOGO service will divert waste from landfill and instead create compost.
The compost created from Manningham’s food and garden waste will be transformed into high-grade compost for parks and gardens. This compost is also used to support farms across Victoria.
FOGO is a state-wide initiative that will see all Victorian Councils introduce a FOGO service by 2030 as outlined in the State Government's Recycling Victoria Policy.
Yes, you can upgrade a standard size 80 litre red lid garbage bin to a larger size 120 litre red lid garbage bin. Find out more about swapping the size of your bins.
If a 120 litre red lid garbage bin is not large enough to suit your household’s waste needs, you will be able to apply to upgrade your bin to a 240 litre red lid garbage bin.
A one-off administration and delivery fee will be payable if you choose to upgrade your red lid bin.
Households who have two children under the age of four in daytime nappies are eligible to apply for a discounted larger 240 litre garbage bin. You can apply by completing an application form to assess your eligibility.
Yes, only food and garden waste can be placed into your FOGO bin.
Food packaging including stickers, rubber bands, plastic containers, tins, plastic bags or plastic wrapping cannot be placed into your FOGO bin.
Use your kitchen caddy and roll of 150 compostable liners that Council has provided.
It's best to keep your kitchen caddy handy as you prepare food so that you can easily place your food scraps into your kitchen caddy. When full, twist your compostable liner closed and put it back into your kitchen caddy. Carry both out to your FOGO bin then open the lid, take the compostable liner out and drop it into your FOGO bin.
We have a series of FOGO instructional videos that cover:
