SINCE June 2023, Penrith City Council has been trialling food organic and garden organic (FOGO) bins in 160 complexes alongside existing collect and return waste services.

The results are impressive, with less than 1% contamination overall. 

Following this success, Council is rolling out FOGO to all multi-unit dwellings across the Local Government Area this year. By ensuring only organic waste goes into the green-lidded FOGO bins, collectively we are creating high-quality compost and enhancing our environment. 

Join Council in celebrating this milestone towards a greener, more sustainable Penrith!
