FOGO - What's In and Out

As of 1 July 2026, a new Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) waste program will be implemented across South Gippsland Shire Council as part of the Victorian Government’s statewide waste and recycling reforms under the Circular Economy (Waste Reduction and Recycling) Act 2021.

In and Out

Where does it go?

Kerbside food and garden organics are transported to a composting facility in Morwell. Here it is turned into compost, soil conditioner and mulch for use in parks, gardens and farms.

It is very important you don't contaminate your FOGO bin with non-compostable materials. Contamination can lead to large quantities of compostable material having to be landfilled.
