NSW Compliance Deadline

Is your business ready for the 1 July 2026 mandate?

From 1 July 2026, NSW businesses and institutions that sell or handle food must source-separate food waste from general waste. Non-compliance carries penalties of up to $500,000 plus $50,000 per day for ongoing breaches. EcoKhaya's compliance consulting and on-site composting solutions are specifically designed to get businesses audit-ready before the deadline.

What We Do

Services tailored to your needs.

Whether you're a council improving kerbside FOGO outcomes or a business preparing for compliance, we have a service designed for you.

Contamination & Bin Audits

We assess kerbside FOGO bins by contamination rate, type, and geographic location — producing hotspot maps and actionable recommendations.

→Contamination rate by street, suburb or collection route
→Contaminant type breakdown (plastic bags, liners, general waste, etc.)
→Suburb-level hotspot map
→Liner compliance analysis (AS 4736 vs. non-compliant)
→Written report with prioritised recommendations
→Quarterly monitoring program available
