More than 52 percent of Austinites live in an apartment, condominium or other multifamily residence. To reach Austin’s Zero Waste goal, residents needs to do their part to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Live in an apartment or condominium?
- Use our sorting guide to keep as many items out of the landfill
- Find out where to sell or donate your items through the Austin Reuse Directory
- Use our “What Do I Do With?” tool to find out where to dispose of an item
- Dispose of hazardous materials, electronics, paint and more at our drop-off center
- Find a community garden near you to drop off compost
If recycling is not available or if recycling services need improvements (more signage, larger carts or bins, additional education, etc.) where you live, please talk to your property manager or let Austin Resource Recovery know by calling 3-1-1 or emailing the Business Outreach team.
Are you an apartment owner?
- Learn about Austin’s Universal Recycling Ordinance and how to comply.
- Use our sign maker to create custom recycle, compost, or landfill signs
