FOGO
Most City of Parramatta residents are currently helping the environment by placing their food waste each week into a green lid FOGO (Food Organics and Garden Organics) bin.
Since November 2024, this service has been in place for houses, and apartment and townhouse complexes with 30 or less dwellings, that receive a Council domestic waste service. It will expand to all dwelling types in the near future.
The material in Council’s FOGO bins is recycled into compost.
By keeping this material out of landfill, City of Parramatta residents are helping to reduce climate change emissions and slowing the expansion of new tips over rural land.
