The City of Melville is trialling additional FOGO bins to help residents manage extra leaf litter from nearby City-managed trees.

Following a Council decision, up to 500 eligible households will receive an additional 240L lime-green lidded FOGO bin free of charge for 12 months. The trial is designed for properties that experience significant leaf, bark, fruit or seed litter from nearby City-managed trees on streets, park, reserves and public open spaces.

About the trial

Some properties in the City experience high volumes of seasonal leaf litter due to nearby City-managed trees. This trial will help selected households manage extra organic material while supporting correct use of the FOGO system.

Up to 500 households will be included.

The trial will run for 12 months.

The additional bin is free for eligible households selected for the trial.

The bin will be collected on the same day as your regular FOGO bin.

Who can apply

City of Melville residents can apply if their property is significantly impacted by leaf litter from nearby City-managed trees. This may include homes near large verge trees, parks or public open spaces.

Applications will be checked against the City’s tree data to confirm eligibility. The trial does not apply to non-residential properties or leaf litter from private trees.

How to apply

Applications open on Tuesday, 27 October 2026 in two release times: 10.00am and 6.30pm. There will be 250 places available in each release.

Places are limited and are expected to fill quickly. Once all 500 places are filled, a small waitlist will be available.

Bin delivery and collection

If your application is successful, the additional bin will be delivered to your property from early November 2026. You do not need to be home when the bin is delivered.

The additional FOGO bin will be collected on the same day as your regular FOGO bin.
