In this episode of The Nightshift, Tod Johnston welcomes Adrian Wiley, the Executive Director of Circular Economy at the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER). With a focus on sustainability and innovative waste management, Adrian joins Tod to discuss the groundbreaking FOGO (Food Organics, Garden Organics) system that’s transforming waste disposal in Western Australia.

Launched in 2019, the 3-bin FOGO system features a new 240L lime-green lidded bin for organic waste, collected weekly, alongside a 120L red general waste bin, collected fortnightly. Adrian sheds light on how this initiative aims to improve waste recovery rates, reduce landfill costs, and significantly decrease the production of harmful greenhouse gases like methane.

Tune in to discover how the FOGO system is paving the way for a more sustainable future in the Perth and Peel regions, with a target for all local governments to adopt this best-practice model by 2025. Whether you’re a sustainability advocate or simply curious about effective waste management strategies, this episode offers valuable insights into how we can all contribute to a healthier planet!
