City of Vincent Corporate Plans & Strategies
FOGO 2020 Rollout
At the City of Vincent 5 March Council Meeting, a business case was approved for a third food organic and garden organic (FOGO) bin collection, with a proposed date of implementation of October 2020. The business case looked at implementation, benefits, costs and the communications and consultation required before a third bin can be introduced.
The suggested implementation date of October 2020 provides the City with time to consult with its community, identify potential barriers and inform all households of the transition.
Fore more information, visit our dedicated FOGO page below. This page will be updated as the consultation and rollout progress over the next 18 months.
