AUSTIN, TEXAS –Due to the current severe winter weather, Austin Resource Recovery (ARR) services continue to be suspended and will resume as weather permits, possibly into the middle of this week. Affected curbside services include recycling, composting, trash, yard trimmings, bulk item, large brush, street sweeping and dead animal collections.
Customers are asked to leave any uncollected carts, yard trimmings, bulk items and large brush at the curb to allow our crews to catch up. If possible, customers should set their carts or other material out as usual, but be aware that service has been delayed. Weather permitting, ARR will catch up over the week and into next weekend.
Please note that ARR has not yet completed the delivery of new composting carts to all 2021 program expansion homes. Additionally, customers new to curbside composting, and with a weekly collection day of Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, their first collection day has also been postponed. Their new service will begin on Feb. 24, 25 and 26 instead of this week.
Customers are encouraged to download the Austin Recycles app or sign up for reminders to get essential service alerts: austintexas.gov/myschedule.
