What if your food scraps and garden clippings could help grow new life instead of going to landfill?

In this episode of How To Save Our Planet, Lottie Dalziel sits down with Alex Bastos, Coordinator Waste and Circular Economy at Randwick City Council, to unpack one of Australia’s most successful waste initiatives — FOGO, or Food Organics and Garden Organics recycling.

Together they explore:

• What FOGO is and how it works
• Why it’s a game changer for reducing landfill and emissions
• How Randwick Council achieved such high participation rates
• Common myths about FOGO (and the truth behind them)
• Simple ways you can get involved — even if your council hasn’t rolled it out yet

If you’ve ever wondered what happens to your food waste after it leaves the bin — or how your local council can make a real impact on climate change — this episode is a must-listen.

Listen to How To Save Our Planet wherever you get your podcasts, and discover how local action is driving national change through FOGO.
