๐ฟ The 2026 $FOGO Revolution: Scraps to Gold! ๐โจ
2026 is officially the "Year of the Green Lid." Whether you're a pro or a beginner, here is the essential update on the FOGO (Food Organics and Garden Organics) movement.
๐ 1. The 2026 Rollout
The transition is reaching its peak across Australia:
City Mandates: Perth and Canberra are completing city-wide rollouts.
New Laws: As of July 1, 2026, NSW businesses (cafes, schools, supermarkets) are legally required to separate food waste.
Expansion: More councils in Victoria are officially adopting the 4-bin system.
๐ 2. The Impact
Waste Reduction: Organics make up 50โ66% of average household rubbish. Moving them to $FOGO is the fastest way to cut your carbon footprint.
Climate Win: Every tonne diverted saves roughly 1.5 tonnes of ๏ฟผ.
Circular Economy: Your scraps are being transformed into nutrient-rich compost for local farms.
โ ๏ธ 3. The Contamination Rule
The biggest threat to FOGO is plastic and glass ending up in the green bin.
The Fix: Use only AS4736-certified compostable liners or put scraps in "naked."
Mantra: "If it didn't grow, it doesn't go!"
๐ก 4. Whatโs Next?
We are moving beyond compost. In 2026, new Anaerobic Digestion plants are converting food waste into biogas to power homes. โก
Pro Tip: Check your council calendar! Many areas are shifting to weekly $FOGO and fortnightly red bin pickups this year. ๐๏ธ
"FOGO isn't just a bin; it's a circular lifestyle." ๐งโโ๏ธ๐
