City of Port Phillip After an incredible response from our community, the Elwood FOGO service is here to stay. With the average household spending around $2,000 a year on food that ends up in landfill, it’s important for us to make small changes that have big impacts. Starting in August last year, the Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) trial was rolled out to 500 households across Elwood, with each household receiving a new kerbside green bin and kitchen caddy for their food and garden waste. We have seen such enthusiastic involvement and commitment from our Elwood residents over the past 11 months, and it is this dedication and feedback that have seen the FOGO trial be continued and made a permanent feature of our waste strategy.
