In August 2020, the City of Port Phillip conducted a FOGO kerbside bin trial to approximately 500 residents in Elwood. Fast forward to February 2023 and FOGO Green-Waste bins were rolled out to the entire council. Last week I found myself over in Port Melbourne filming the new FOGO collection, but also went out to film 1 of 2 LEV trucks that Four Seasons Waste runs in Port Phillip.
Since the new service started, Four Seasons Waste has assigned the 2 LEV Acco Superior Pak Raptors and a Rear Loader for FOGO. Makes sense sending a single driver out in the run, as there isn't many FOGO bins out and the driver can get in and out of the truck easily to get the bin behind a car or blocked access. It's a lot more practical and probably a job best suited for the LEV's. This truck has had its day though, very neglected and not looked after if you look at things with a closer eye, but it still holds up and goes alright.
Port Phillip takes their Green-Waste to the Cleanaway Brooklyn Resource Recovery center where it is then loaded on to a transfer trailer and sent to the Cleanaway South East Organics facility in Dandenong.
Unfortunately, time is almost up for Four Seasons Waste in Port Phillip and the area will feel very different when Citywide takes over in July. Four Seasons Waste are well known for the Port Phillip contract and have ran it for a very long time now. The driver in the truck was happy I was out there filming him driving the LEV truck and it was his second time being in one too. Enjoy!!! ;) ;) ;)
