💚 Waste Tip Wednesday: 💚 Focus on FOGO

👉 If it’s food and garden organics than FOGO is the place. Fruit and veggie scraps, meat, bones, seafood, eggshells, dairy, certified compostable caddy liners, food leftovers, and garden waste are a perfect match for your FOGO bin.

👉 Please keep packaging, plastic, glass, metal, pizza boxes, compostable cups and pet poo out of the FOGO bin and help create a cleaner, higher quality compost from your food and garden waste

Not sure what bin it goes in? Check the Recycle Right guide: Which Bin - 3 Bin FOGO. https://recycleright.wa.gov.au/which-3-bin-fogo/

Break up with your waste responsibly and as always think before you throw.
