๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฅ™ โ™ป๏ธ Turn your food waste into compost โ€“ save space in your garbage bin!

With all the extra entertaining during the festive season and throughout January, itโ€™s the perfect time to make sure any leftovers or food scraps go in the FOGO bin.

When food scraps are placed in the FOGO bin, they get turned into compost to grow new food. Itโ€™s a convenient way to reduce waste to landfill and save space in your garbage bin during a busy holiday season.

If you donโ€™t have a FOGO bin, you can order one today: whitehorse.vic.gov.au/order-bin
