What is FOGO?

FOGO stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics,

FOGO is a State Government mandated food-waste collection service that will be rolled out across Sutherland Shire. The service will have an impact on almost all residents and is the biggest change to domestic waste management in a generation. When introduced from 2026, your Green lid bin will be used for food and garden waste.

In order to ensure a successful and smooth introduction of FOGO for our community next year, Council are currently assessing a number of options related to the delivery of our upcoming FOGO service. We are investigating the rollout of FOGO by other metropolitan councils, and learning from their experiences, to make sure we choose the best service for Sutherland Shire.

We will be offering residents the chance to have their say during our community engagement in the coming months. In the meantime, take a look at our Roadmap to FOGO to see what Council is currently working on.
