Austin Recycles

Customers notice when restaurants make sustainable choices.
And, according to recent research, they post reviews about it, tell their besties and keep coming back.

Austin food-permitted businesses can get up to $3,000 through the Zero Waste Business Rebate to help cover the cost of switching to reusable or compostable serviceware.

Applications are open through June 30. Read more at the link below. 🍽️♻️

Austin is located in the heart of "Flash Flood Alley," where dry land can flood in a flash.🌩️

This week is Texas Flood Safety Awareness Week and the Austin Resource Recovery leadership team is wearing blue to help spread the word.

Flooding can pose a serious risk at home and on the road. Knowing what to do before, during and after a flood can help keep you and your family safe.

The 2026 Circular Austin Showcase has wrapped and we have a winner!

Congratulations to Pickle Envy, this year's $10,000 Showcase prize recipient!

Libby Goldman and their team make authentic, deli-style pickles, sauerkrauts and seasonal fermented foods using locally-grown vegetables, including produce that would otherwise go to waste. It's a delicious way to give our community a nutritious, locally-made alternative to industrially-produced goods while keeping good food out of the landfill.

A huge thank you to all of this year's finalists for bringing their ideas + passion to the stage and all who attended!
