About zero waste
The City of Austin is committed to a zero waste goal to reduce the amount of trash sent to landfills by 90 percent by the year 2040.
Zero waste is a philosophy that goes beyond recycling to focus first on reducing trash and reusing products and then recycling and composting the rest. Zero Waste recognizes that one person’s trash is another person’s treasure, and everything is a resource for something or someone else.
Our vision
To be the national zero waste leader in the transformation from traditional integrated waste collection to sustainable resource recovery.
Our mission
To achieve zero waste by providing excellent customer services that promote waste reduction, increase resource recovery and support the City of Austin’s sustainability efforts.
