Council has received very positive feedback with residents and businesses embracing the Trial. We would like to congratulate and thank everyone participating!

Since the launch of our FOGO Trial on 24 October 2023, we have been able to support 622 residents and businesses across three different locations including the Woodside Township, the rural area to the East of Woodside and along the rural area of Swamp and Tiers Road. The Trial will continue until October 2024 and provides the opportunity to significantly improve food waste diversion and reduce waste to landfill in the Adelaide Hills Council area.

The Trial has involved changes to household bin collections and to the supply of green lidded FOGO bins which some residents didn’t have prior to the Trial. Collection of green lidded bins has occurred weekly or fortnightly for residents. All residents in the Trial have had their general waste bins collected fortnightly.
