Search my addressWestern Australia is moving councils toward a standard three-bin FOGO system under the state waste strategy: a red or dark green lid for general waste, yellow for recycling, and lime green for food and garden organics. Many Perth metropolitan councils have already made the switch, with general waste moving to fortnightly collection once FOGO arrives.
WA runs the Containers for Change scheme, refunding 10 cents per eligible drink container returned to a refund point.
Perth councils commonly offer scheduled bulk and green waste verge collections a few times a year, with dates set per suburb. Regional WA councils rely more heavily on transfer stations and landfill vouchers.
Behind the scenes, much of Perth's waste is processed through regional council groups such as the EMRC and SMRC, which run shared facilities on behalf of member councils. That is why neighbouring councils often switch to FOGO around the same time: the change usually follows the regional processor rather than each council acting alone. Households switching to FOGO typically receive a kitchen caddy and compostable liners from their council.
