The City of Swan is reviewing how residential waste is collected to ensure our services are practical, sustainable and supported by the community. This includes looking at our current FOGO (Food Organics and Garden Organics) system and exploring future options for how we manage waste across the City.

In mid-2024, the City began rolling out a third bin for FOGO to reduce landfill and increase organic waste recovery. Over 18,800 households received the service.

After hearing community feedback about issues such as bin sizes and collection frequency, the City paused the rollout in early 2025 and Council committed to a thorough review. You can view this motion from the April 2025 OCM here.

No final decision has been made, we want to hear from you first.

We’re gathering feedback in two phases:

• Phase one (May 2025): Listening to households who have the FOGO service to understand their experiences, challenges and ideas for improvement
• Phase two (June 2025): Engaging with the broader community to explore preferences for future waste service options.

Use the arrows below to explore the three waste service options currently under review for the City of Swan.
We encourage you to consider these carefully before submitting your feedback — open for FOGO households in May 2025 and the broader community in June 2025.

You can also download a full side by side comparison here.

This map shows the combined Stage 1 - 3 rollout area for FOGO (orange) and also the intended Stage 4 rollout area (blue).

Stage 4 rollout was scheduled for implementation between April1, 2025 and June 24, 2025.

It is intended that, once the decision of the 3-bin service option is determined by Council, the Stage 4 rollout area will be the first to receive the selected waste service.
