Please use alternative methods listed on our website or purchase them from Woolworths, Coles, FoodWorks or Bunnings, or order them online from Compost-a-Pak, Cardia Bioproducts or Biobag World.
Always use compostable liners, not biodegradable, and remember to never use a plastic bag. Compostable liners have these logos and the certified Australian Composting Standard numbers: AS4736 & HC5810.
The average use of a liner before changing it is three to four days. So by using three per week = 25 weeks per roll of 75 liners.
Moisture can make them compost faster so place newspaper or used paper towel at the bottom of your liner if your food scraps are wet. Store your liners in a cool and dry spot away from heat and sunlight.
No. Food scraps can go straight into your caddy or FOGO bin. You can rinse the caddy out after washing up the dishes or wrap food scraps in newspaper which is totally acceptable as well.
You can even make an origami liner which would be a great project for the kids!
No. The liners are designed for your kitchen caddy and for food scraps only. Pet poo and kitty litter can go straight into your FOGO bin or you can buy compostable pet poo bags from:
• Woolworths, Coles, Bunnings and Petbarn or check your local pet store
• Order online from Compost-A-Pak, Cardia Bioproducts or Biobag World as examples
• You can set up a pet poo composter at home such as the EnsoPet or Bokashi system

Yes, a token or similar system will be rolled out along with the yearly calendar at a later date (to be advised).
You will be notified when our centres reopen and other important updates through our communication channels.
For all of your other waste services, it remains business as usual so your general waste, recycling and FOGO bins will still be collected.
We would like to thank everyone for doing so well with supporting a successful behaviour change and adapting so quickly to the FOGO 3-Bin system.
