Gasoline

Residents of the City of Austin and Travis County should take household quantities of gasoline free of charge to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Do not mix it with other automotive products. Avoid having to dispose of gasoline by buying only what you need.


Glass

Pay-As-You-Throw customers can recycle glass bottles and jars by putting them in your Single Stream Recycling cart with other recyclables. All other types of glass, including broken glass, drinking glasses, ceramics, etc. should be put in your trash. To prevent injuries, please box glass or wrap it in several layers of newspaper and label the package "GLASS." For information about glass doors, window panes and large mirrors, see the entry under sheet glass.

If you are not a Pay-As-You-Throw customer, consult your waste company or building manager about whether to put glass bottles and jars in your trash or in your recycling.

Ecology Action accepts glass bottles and jars at its downtown Austin recycling drop off center.

Grass clippings

Pay-As-You-Throw customers can "recycle" grass clippings by setting them out in kraft paper grass and leaf bags or in a small reusable container (no more than 33 gallons). Grass clippings and other yard trimmings are made into mulch and Dillo Dirt.

Do NOT put grass clippings in plastic bags or you will have to pay extra to have them collected. Grass clippings in plastic bags must be sent to a landfill.

You can also leave grass clippings on your lawn when you mow. This will help restore nutrients to your yard.


Grocery bags

See Bags - Paper or Bags - Plastic.
