Reply To: FOGO waste bin collection

Thanks shedsrus for your reply. There are no signs of STHL but there is sub-letting that takes place. There are two waste issues at play at our block – from the street and tenants.

On occasion I have found commercial waste – bundles of newspapers, corporate flyers etc. We also have a few regulars who shift through the recycling bins for bottles (return and earn) which I support, they are tidy and it helps to reduce our overall volume in between the fortnightly collection.

In our building there are two lots whom I can identify and have witnessed on many occasions excessive waste, which unfortunately cannot be separated as part of the FOGO system. It stems from the gig economy jobs and life style choices – plastic & paper packaging from home delivered meals. Cleaning wipes, disposable face masks, water bottles generated daily in at least 2 big plastic bags from car riding shifts.
