About the 3.0m3 Organic Waste Container
Our 3.0 cubic metre front-lift organic waste container represents industrial-scale FOGO compliance for major food processing facilities, manufacturing plants, large hotel complexes, and industrial food operations generating 1000-2000kg of organic waste weekly. This heavy-duty steel container provides the highest-capacity commercial organic waste solution, dramatically reducing landfill costs while meeting mandatory EPA FOGO requirements across all Australian states.
Designed for food processing plants, meat processors, large-scale catering operations, major hotel properties, industrial bakeries, and food manufacturing facilities, this container eliminates the need for multiple wheelie bins while providing superior capacity and durability. The robust steel construction with sealed lid system and industrial rubber gaskets contains odors from high-volume food waste, while the lime green color coding ensures clear FOGO waste stream identification and EPA compliance. Collected by specialized front-lift trucks, this system is designed for facilities with loading dock access and high-volume waste generation.
All organic waste is transported to EPA-licensed AS 4454-certified commercial composting facilities. Through controlled aerobic composting at 55-70°C over 8-16 weeks, industrial food waste transforms into premium agricultural compost used in broadacre farming, horticulture, and land rehabilitation. This process diverts massive volumes of methane-producing organics from landfill (1.5 tonnes weekly = 70% reduction in greenhouse emissions), saves $8,000-$15,000 annually in landfill levies for typical operations, ensures compliance with NSW/VIC/QLD mandatory FOGO regulations, and supports corporate sustainability reporting, carbon neutrality goals, and environmental certifications like ISO 14001.
