The City of Fremantle is now rolling out the FOGO bin service to residents living in a multi-unit development (MUD).
The FOGO three-bin system collects food and garden waste from the landfill bin, allowing it to be recycled into compost instead of rotting in landfill, where it produces harmful methane gases.
Due to the complexity of MUD's, a quick on-site assessment maybe required before changing the bin service. We recognise that in a small number of cases not every MUD is suitable for FOGO.
If you would like your complex to go FOGO contact Waste Services on 1300 MY FREO (1300 693 736). |
Your new service
Each MUD is a different shape and size, so City officers will work out the best solution to service the property.
