Penrith Council praises rural communities for quick adoption of Penrith’s progressive bin service
Penrith City Council congratulates Penrith’s rural communities for adopting Council’s progressive 3-bin waste service 21 months ago.
In July 2019, Penrith Council introduced the green-lidded Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) bin to rural communities in Penrith as an important step in the community’s journey to improving resource recovery. By sorting waste correctly, residents continue to contribute to Penrith’s reputation for being progressive leaders in waste.
Penrith Mayor and Sustainability Champion Karen McKeown OAM praised the community for their positive response and quick uptake of the FOGO service.
