he City of Kalamunda is considering moving to a three bin waste and recycling system, in order to divert more waste from landfill and to improve the recovery of materials.

Outcome

At the 27 October 2020 Ordinary Council Meeting Council confirmed that the City of Kalamunda will provide its Food Organic / Garden Organic waste to the Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council for processing subject to an acceptable outcome to the City of Kalamunda of the Eastern Metropolitan Regional Council Food Organic / Garden Organic Tender process.

This is an ongoing, multi-staged project. It is expected to be ongoing until 2022-2023.



Background

The City of Kalamunda is considering moving to a three bin waste and recycling system, in order to divert more waste from landfill and to improve the recovery of materials.

This system, known as FOGO (Food Organics Garden Organics), will provide residents with a third waste bin for organic waste for kitchen scraps and garden debris like lawn clippings and small branches.

A FOGO system ensures a significant increase in the recovery of materials from the household waste collection and valuable compost can be created from the organic materials diverted from landfill. Where implemented, FOGO has on average, doubled recovery efforts.

This is a green, environmentally friendly approach to waste disposal and resource recovery, resulting in a more sustainable City of Kalamunda.

The aim of this survey is to understand your future requirements and aspirations for waste and recycling services within the City of Kalamunda. In addition, your feedback will assist the City with their development of a waste management and recycling strategy.

The FOGO system is part of the state government's 'Better Bins' initiative in its Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery (WARR) strategy 2030 that aims to improve waste recovery and recycling in the links section of this page.
