Kerbside Green Waste Collection

 

Your FOGO (Food Organics Garden Organics) green waste bin with the green lid is collected fortnightly on the same day.

Place your green waste bin on the kerb the night before collection day to ensure it gets emptied.

Check when your green waste bin is to be collected so you don’t miss organics night.
