Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) 

One of the largest community education programs ever carried out in Perth’s Eastern Region is paving the way for the rollout of a three-bin FOGO (Food Organics Garden Organics) scheme, aimed at diverting thousands of tonnes of waste from landfill.

 The EMRC, which manages waste on behalf of its five member Councils,  reached a unanimous vote on Thursday 19 September 2019 to implement an extensive education, consultation and implementation program as part of its far-reaching FOGO strategy.  A key part of the Strategy will be to encourage every resident in the region to think of food and garden waste as a valuable commodity.
