FOGO LIKE A PRO THIS SUMMER With the summer holidays now in full swing and warmer weather finally here, there are ways to ensure your FOGO caddy and bin are kept free from flies, bugs, and smells.
Our top tips to FOGO like a pro this summer: 1.FREEZE IT. If you enjoy ham or prawns over Christmas, you can avoid a pongy bin by wrapping up your meat scraps and shells in a bag and freeze them. You can place them in the FOGO bin the night before collection and that way your bin won’t smell. 2. COOL IT. If you can, keep your FOGO bin in the shade between collections, that way it will reduce the chances of your recycling smelling. Also, on collection days when you leave your FOGO bin on the curb place it in the shade from a tree or a building if possible. 3. COVER IT. To avoid flies and bugs breeding in your food scraps close your caddy bin tightly after every use. For extra protection to stop flies laying eggs on food scraps cover them with paper, paper napkins, or cardboard
