AUSTIN, TEXAS – Austin Resource Recovery  Austin Resource Recovery (ARR) curbside collection services halted midday Thursday due severe winter weather conditions. All ARR services, including street sweeping, recycling, composting, trash, yard trimmings, bulk item, large brush and dead animal collections have been canceled for the remainder of the day.

Austin Code has confirmed there will be no citations issued for carts or items left at the curb for collection while delays persist.
