FOGO Waste Service Arriving in 2027

Swan Hill Rural City Council is introducing a Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) waste service in 2027.

FOGO will make it easier for households to recycle food scraps and garden waste instead of sending them to landfill. The service will help:

Reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill

Lower greenhouse gas emissions

Turn food and garden waste into valuable compost

Support a cleaner, more sustainable future for our community

Many councils across Victoria have already successfully adopted FOGO, with positive environmental and community outcomes. Swan Hill Rural City Council is looking forward to bringing the service to our municipality.

Tell us what you think

As Council plans for the introduction of FOGO, we'd like to hear from our community. Visit Let's Talk Swan Hill to learn more about the proposed service and complete the short survey.

Your feedback will help shape how the FOGO service is rolled out across the municipality.
