Maroondah Food and Garden Organics (FOGO) Champions program

We are excited to be introducing a new food and garden organics (FOGO) waste service to Maroondah in May 2023.

The FOGO service will allow food waste to be added to your garden waste bin. Food waste that’s diverted from landfill will be turned into nutrient rich compost that will improve the soil on Victorian farms and gardens.

We are looking for Maroondah residents who are passionate about sustainability to become FOGO Champions.

If you are passionate about sustainability and engaging your community, you could be just what we are looking for!

Find out how to become a FOGO Champion below.
