Even without a food scraps program, composting at home makes a measurable difference to how much goes to landfill.

Frequently asked questions

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether Wollondilly Shire's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

What happens if I miss bin night in Bargo?

General waste catches up next week, but Wollondilly Shire collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Wollondilly Shire may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Wollondilly Shire runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, and then it waits until the following Monday, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Wollondilly Shire tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
