Complimentary Compostable Caddy Bags AvailableTo support positive waste sorting behaviour and make it easier for residents to manage their food organics and garden organics (FOGO) waste, the Shire of Harvey offers complimentary compostable bags for your kitchen caddy.
These bags can be collected in person from the following locations:
- Shire of Harvey Administration Building – Australind
- Shire of Harvey Administration Building – Harvey
When collecting your bags, please remember to bring valid proof of residency, such as a utility bill, driver’s licence, or Shire rates notice, to confirm your eligibility.
Alternative Options to Using FOGO Kitchen Caddy BagsYou do not have to use compostable bags in your FOGO kitchen caddy. There are many ways you can use your FOGO kitchen caddy to collect organics for composting:
- Substitutes: Use newspaper or paper towels as an alternative to the compostable bags.
- Purchase compostable liners: You can buy compostable liners from Woolworths, Coles, FoodWorks, and Bunnings or online from Cardia Bioproducts, Compost-A-Pak and BioBag World. Only buy compostable liners that display the Certified Australian Standard logos and numbers. Biodegradable liners still contain plastic and break down into micro plastics which are harmful to all living things, pollute the environment and contaminate the FOGO compost.
- No liner: Go without a liner and instead wash your caddy regularly.
