Update September 2025
Thank you to the 400+ people who contributed to community consultation about this project. The consultation survey has now closed and results have been considered by the project team.
Community feedback informed Council's approach to rolling out green lid FOGO (Food Organics Garden Organics) services and future waste and recycling services in Moonee Valley.
The rollout of FOGO bins and caddies to all residents on a Council waste service is now complete as of September 2025. This brings all Moonee Valley residents onto the new 3 bin service, and your valued feedback will continue to contribute to waste service improvements and updates.
Background
Victorian Government legislation has changed to set out a way forward for reducing waste. You can read more about the changes here.
As part of the Victorian State Government’s Recycling Victoria (RV) policy, Council is rolling out green lid FOGO services to all single-use dwellings and certain eligible multi-use dwellings in Moonee Valley.
In preparation for the roll out, Council sought community feedback about the roll out, glass recycling solutions and existing Moonee Valley waste and recycling services, including community:
- views about a green lid FOGO bin service
- needs regarding green lid FOGO bins and glass bins
- preferences (e.g. regarding green bin size, collection frequency, and preferred ways for using a glass bin)
- thoughts about the future Container Deposit Scheme (CDS)
