FOGO for apartments


FOGO: Your organic waste sorted

Some (but not all) apartments and townhouses in Belconnen, Bruce, Cook and Macquarie are part of the FOGO pilot. We are working closely with building managers and residents to improve resource recovery and reduce waste in apartments.

Several complexes with shared bins have signed up to the pilot. We are servicing more than 1100 units in various multi-unit developments. These buildings have FOGO bins along with recycling and landfill bins in the shared waste areas.

At this stage, we are not enrolling new multi-unit developments into the FOGO pilot. If you wish to add your apartment building to our waitlist, please send your expression of interest with current building management contact details and exact address to fogo@act.gov.au.

Due to the complexity of multi-unit developments, an onsite assessment is required. In some cases, FOGO will not be suitable for a multi-unit development.

Building management representing apartments in the FOGO pilot can contact us to:

  • modify the number of FOGO bins
  • change strata management contact details
  • request support with the service.

If more assistance is required, a free 20-minute online education session is available for residents who would like more information.

Bin stickers or signs for bin rooms are also available. See printable resources.
