About FOGO

- Manningham Civic Centre: 699 Doncaster Road, Doncaster 3108
- Manningham Depot Offices: 620-628 Blackburn Rd, Doncaster East 3109
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.
What can go into my FOGO bin?
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:
- fruit and vegetable scraps
- meat and bones (raw and cooked)
- seafood
- bread, pasta, rice and cereal

What happens to the food and garden waste?
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.
What if I'm already composting at home?
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.
Why has Manningham introduced FOGO?
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.
Can I get a larger red lid garbage bin for my household?
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 with children in nappies
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.
FOGO tips and tricks
Does food need to be removed from its packaging before it goes in the FOGO bin?
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.
How should food scraps be collected and stored?
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:
Will the FOGO bin smell?
Here are some tips to reduce odours for your green lid FOGO bin:
- place food waste in a compostable liner bag or wrap in newspaper
- try alternating layers of food waste with garden waste, like lawn clippings or dry leaves
- wrap up food waste like prawn shells, seafood and uncooked meat scraps and store them in the freezer until closer to collection day
- store your bins in a shady, flat and well-ventilated area
- rinse your bins occasionally, and always keep the lid closed
- sprinkle some bicarb soda in the bin to neutralise smells.
What are compostable liners?
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.
Compostable liners sold at supermarkets cannot be used in our FOGO bins. They are not lime green and will be considered as contamination.
Do I have to use the kitchen caddy and liners?
No, you can use any container to collect your food scraps and take these to your green lid FOGO bin.
You can collect and place food scraps into your green lid bin loose or wrapped in newspaper or paper towel.
Please note you cannot use plastic or biodegradable bags, only compostable liners with the certified compostable symbol are able to be placed into your green lid FOGO bin.

Article Content
We are one of 31 Victorian Councils calling on the State Government to reconsider the requirement of a kerbside glass recycling bin for all households by 1 July 2027.
As a group, Councils are advocating for the mandatory implementation of the fourth glass-only bin service to be postponed and reconsidered.
We are concerned about the cost implications for our community and want to see the State Government release its business case for the service and delay its commencement date until Councils have had time to review it appropriately.
The cost to implement a fourth glass-only bin service is estimated at $4 million, plus, on average, $27 per household per year.
As an advocacy group, Councils sent a joint a letter to the Minister for Environment, the Hon. Steve Dimopoulos, late last year, which outlined the findings of a Council investigation on the feasibility of the service in comparison to alternative options for glass recycling.
The investigation found that expanding the existing Container Deposit Scheme to include wine and spirit bottles would provide similar circularity benefits to a glass-only bin service, without passing on excessive costs to Councils and residents.
We want to see the State Government listen to Councils’ concerns and consider alternative options before forcing the implementation of a glass-only kerbside recycling bin.
As part of our advocacy for Manningham on this important issue, we have also submitted a motion to the Municipal Association of Victoria to repeal the Circular Economy (Waste Reduction and Recycling) Act 2021 provisions, which mandate Victorian Councils provide a glass-only service to households.
You can find out more about this motion in the 25 February Council Meeting Minutes. See Item 13.2, MAV State Council Motions.
