Collection Guidelines
- Place your recycling at the curb by 6:30 a.m. on your collection day.
- Place trash, recyclables and yard trimmings 5 feet apart to allow our automated trucks to collect materials safely and efficiently.
- Remove food waste from recyclables before placing them in the recycling cart.
- If you cannot fit all of your recyclables in your cart, you may place additional items in a cardboard box or a reusable container. They will be picked up at no extra charge.
- Flatten corrugated cardboard and place in your recycling cart. If you have more than what will fit inside the recycling cart, cut or fold it to 2 feet by 2 feet, and tie it into manageable bundles with string or twine. Place the bundles next to your recycling cart.
- Did we miss your cart? Call Austin Resource Recovery at 3-1-1 or send us an e-mail. We will come by to pick up the missed material as soon as possible.
Rates & Fees
Austin Resource Recovery provides bundled services to manage your trash, recycling and yard trimmings. Costs are based on your trash cart size. We offer four trash cart sizes; choose the size that best fits your household’s needs.
Save money on your utility bill by recycling as much as possible, setting aside yard trimmings for composting collection, and choosing a smaller trash cart.
