About the 1100L Organic Waste Bin

The 1100-litre FOGO bin is the maximum-capacity mobile organic waste option, engineered for major hotels, food manufacturing facilities, large commercial kitchens, and industrial food operations generating 400-700kg of organic waste weekly. This industrial-grade lime green bin provides the highest-capacity FOGO compliance while dramatically reducing landfill costs through organic waste diversion to AS 4454-certified commercial composting.

Designed for large-scale food operations including resort hotels, food processing plants, large catering operations, institutional kitchens, and major food retailers, this bin eliminates the need for multiple smaller bins while maintaining EPA FOGO compliance across all Australian jurisdictions. The heavy-duty sealed lid system with industrial rubber gasket and locking mechanism provides superior odor containment for high-volume waste, while reinforced construction withstands continuous daily use in demanding commercial environments.

All organic waste is transported to EPA-licensed AS 4454-certified composting facilities where controlled aerobic decomposition at 55-70°C transforms food waste into premium agricultural compost over 8-16 weeks. This process diverts methane-producing organics from landfill (significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions), reduces landfill levy costs for large operations, meets mandatory EPA FOGO requirements in NSW/VIC/QLD, and supports corporate carbon neutrality and sustainability commitments. Many major hotel chains and food manufacturers find FOGO noticeably reduces their total waste costs. For pricing specific to your premises, enter your postcode for live rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What collection schedule is needed for an 1100L FOGO bin?
Large operations typically require 2-3 collections per week. Hotels and resorts often schedule Tuesday/Friday collections, while food manufacturers may need Monday/Wednesday/Friday service to manage continuous production waste. Very high-volume operations might pair an 1100L bin with a 660L for peak periods or different waste streams. It's best not to store organic waste longer than 72 hours even with sealed lids, as microbial activity generates heat and odors. Collection frequency can be adjusted seasonally to match occupancy or production cycles.
Can food manufacturing waste go in FOGO bins?
Yes, most food manufacturing waste is ideal for FOGO composting: fruit/vegetable processing offcuts, bakery waste, dairy byproducts, meat trim (no large bones), brewing/beverage waste, and packaging materials if AS 5810 certified. However, some waste streams require special handling: (1) Oils and fats need grease trap service, (2) Very high-salt or acidic waste may need blending with other organics, (3) Pet food or animal feed waste requires separate classification, (4) Waste from allergen or contaminated production runs may need general waste disposal. Your local provider can assess your specific manufacturing processes and design a compliant solution.
How much space is needed for an 1100L bin?
You'll need approximately 1.5m width x 1.5m depth for the bin itself, plus 2m clearance in front for maneuvering and positioning for collection. Height clearance of 2m is recommended for lid opening and access. Most large facilities position 1100L bins in loading docks, refrigerated waste rooms, or covered bin storage areas with forklift or pallet jack access for positioning. The industrial wheels allow a single person to move an empty bin, but positioning a full 500kg bin often requires mechanical assistance or team effort.
What are the annual cost savings for large operations?
Substantial for large operations. Because general waste carries landfill levies (NSW $153/t, VIC $126/t, QLD $90/t) and organics diversion avoids them, separating food organics can noticeably reduce your waste costs. Savings can compound through: (1) avoided landfill levies, (2) fewer general waste bins once organics are separated, (3) FOGO rebates offered by some councils, and (4) potential carbon credits in some cases. Many properties achieve carbon neutral certification partly through FOGO implementation. For an exact comparison for your premises, enter your postcode for live pricing.
