As part of the School Recycling Education Program, the City of Bayswater can provide waste collection services for FOGO and recycling bins free of charge. The School Recycling Education Program is designed to promote the correct methodology of waste disposal and the importance of 'reduce, reuse, recycle and recover', as well as an education program for students and school staff. It does not interfere with general waste contracts under the Common Use Agreement.
