About the 660L Organic Waste Bin

The 660-litre FOGO bin delivers high-capacity organic waste management for busy restaurants, food courts, hotels, and large commercial kitchens generating substantial daily food waste. This industrial-grade lime green wheelie bin meets strict EPA FOGO requirements while reducing landfill costs by up to 65% through organic waste diversion to AS 4454-certified commercial composting facilities.

Designed for high-volume food operations including hotel kitchens, food court outlets, large restaurants, catering facilities, and food manufacturers with 30-60 staff, this bin handles 200-400kg of organic waste weekly. The reinforced sealed lid system with commercial-grade rubber gasket provides superior odor containment, making it suitable for urban locations, shopping complexes, and facilities with public interfaces. Heavy-duty construction withstands the rigors of busy commercial kitchens and daily use.

All organic waste is transported to EPA-licensed composting facilities operating under AS 4454 standards. Through controlled aerobic composting at 55-70°C over 8-16 weeks, food waste transforms into premium compost used in agriculture, horticulture, and land rehabilitation. This process diverts methane-generating organics from landfill (reducing greenhouse emissions by up to 70%), significantly lowers waste disposal costs through reduced landfill levies ($90-$153/tonne depending on state), and helps businesses achieve EPA sustainability targets and carbon neutrality goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What collection frequency is recommended for a 660L FOGO bin?
Most high-volume kitchens require twice-weekly collection to manage odors and maintain hygiene standards, particularly during warm months. Some operations in cooler climates manage with weekly collection if bins are stored in refrigerated or cool areas. Very high-volume operations (hotels, large food courts) may need 3x weekly service. The sealed lid design allows multi-day storage without significant odor issues when properly maintained. We'll assess your waste generation and recommend optimal frequency.
How do I prevent odors with large volumes of food waste?
The 660L bin's sealed lid with rubber gasket is the first defense, but additional strategies help: (1) Store bins in cool, shaded areas or refrigerated spaces if available, (2) Layer food waste with dry materials like cardboard or paper towels to absorb moisture, (3) Wrap particularly odorous items (seafood, meat) in newspaper, (4) Increase collection frequency during warm months, (5) Clean bins monthly with water and eco-friendly degreaser, (6) Ensure staff close lid fully after each use. Many food courts position bins in air-conditioned loading docks.
Can we compost compostable packaging and takeaway containers?
Yes, but only AS 5810 certified compostable products (look for the seedling logo with 'AS 5810' or 'OK Compost' certification). These break down in commercial composting within 90-180 days. Standard 'biodegradable' or 'degradable' packaging is NOT accepted as it doesn't fully compost and contaminates the final product. PLA (polylactic acid) cups, bagasse (sugarcane) plates, and certified compostable cutlery are all accepted. We can provide a list of certified suppliers.
What are the cost savings compared to sending organics to landfill?
Significant. A food court generating 300kg organic waste weekly pays $2,300-$4,500/year in landfill levies alone (NSW $153/tonne, VIC $126/tonne, QLD $90/tonne). FOGO collection costs $2,500-$4,000/year for twice-weekly 660L service. Net savings: $800-$2,000/year in avoided levies, PLUS reduced general waste bin requirements (often downsize from 3x240L to 1x240L general), saving another $1,500-$2,500/year. Total savings typically reach $2,500-$4,500/year, with payback in months.
