Sharni from Kingston Park
Why I signed up: We love green FOGO bins and my landfill bin is empty most weeks.
Waste tip: Check with your local café to see if they use compostable cups, as these can go in the FOGO bin.
The White family from Seacliff
Why did we sign up: To make the environment a better place.

Deb and John from Somerton Park

Waste tip: I have 2 kitchen caddies; one for peelings for home composting and one for other food scraps that go in the green FOGO bin.

Waste tip: Use your kitchen caddy to collect your food scraps.
