The FOGO three-bin waste management system is now available to all residential property types in Fremantle.
The City of Fremantle was one of the first local governments in Western Australia to go FOGO (Food Organics, Garden Organics) when the system was introduced to more than 11,000 households in 2019.
Due to the added complexity of providing FOGO to apartments and units these property types were excluded from the initial roll out, but now all residential property types in the City of Fremantle are being given the chance to go FOGO.
Fremantle Mayor Hannah Fitzhardinge said the introduction of FOGO to apartments and units was another important step towards boosting recovery rates and reducing landfill.
“The City of Fremantle was an early adopter of FOGO so more than 80 per cent of households in Fremantle are already using the system,” Mayor Fitzhardinge said.
“Since it was introduced in September 2019 more than 11,000 tonnes of organic waste has been collected in Fremantle’s FOGO bins and diverted from landfill.
“The process for providing FOGO bins to apartments and units is a little more involved because every complex is slightly different and we have to tailor the service to best suit individual needs.
