Austin Resource Recovery and Goodwill Central Texas have partnered to offer a free on-call contactless curbside collection service for unwanted clothing, shoes, accessories, toys, linens and housewares for reuse or recycling.
Set your carts five feet apart by 5:30 a.m.
Customers should place their carts at the curb no later than 5:30 a.m. on their scheduled collection day.
Most of our trucks are equipped with automatic arms that pick up the carts. If carts are set too close together or too close to other objects, our drivers must get out of their trucks and move the carts so the automatic arm can pick up the cart without bumping into or knocking over anything.
Austin Resource Recovery periodically collects large brush and tree limbs that are too large for curbside composting collection. The large brush is composted or made into Dillo Dirt.
We collect items that are too large for your trash cart during specially-scheduled bulk collections. This list is not all inclusive. Please download the Austin Recycles app or visit the What Do I Do With...? page to see if your item is collected during bulk collection.
Austin Resource Recovery provides bundled services to manage your recycling, composting, trash, large brush and bulk collection. Costs are based on your trash cart size and are a per-gallon charge.
Austin Resource Recovery provides weekly curbside trash collection to single-family homes up to four-plexes in Austin.
Help protect the health and safety of Austin Resource Recovery staff; please remember to bag and tie all trash to keep it contained.
