Date Time FOGO goes shire wide from July In July, Council will expand the Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) service shire-wide to all Macedon Ranges households. This completes the roll-out, which began in February 2020 to over 16,000 properties across the shire. Properties and households new to the FOGO service will receive a letter detailing upcoming changes in the coming weeks, including the date for bin deliveries. “Since the FOGO bins launched, over 9,257 tonnes of organic material has been saved from landfill,” said Shane Walden, Director Assets and Operations. FOGO material is turned into a nutrient-rich compost for farms and gardens across Victoria. It will also help local school gardens grow, with Council supplying free compost during Compost Awareness Week (2-8 May).
