Organic Waste

Transforming Organic Waste into Sustainable Solutions

At Corio Waste Management, we specialise in the collection, transport, and processing of organic waste, including Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO), across Victoria. From reliable collection to local composting, our solutions help reduce landfill, cut greenhouse emissions, and regenerate soil, supporting sustainability goals and the circular economy.

What is Organic Waste?

Organic waste includes biodegradable materials such as food scraps, coffee grounds, garden clippings, plant matter, and compostable packaging.

When these materials are sent to landfill, they break down anaerobically, producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Diverting organic waste to composting significantly reduces environmental impact and returns valuable nutrients to the soil.

Western Composting Technology is constructing a state-of-the-art composting facility in Huntly, near Bendigo, Victoria, which is expected to be completed in 2026.

The facility is designed to process up to 30,000 tonnes of food and garden organics (FOGO) annually, transforming it into high-quality compost for public sale. Utilising advanced in-vessel composting technology, the facility aims to minimise environmental impact while contributing to local sustainability efforts. This initiative is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 16.3% compared to current kerbside organics disposal methods.
