Zero Waste
The City of Austin's Zero Waste Goal is to reduce the amount of waste Austinites send to the landfill by 90 percent by the year 2040.
Austin took an important step to move toward a more sustainable future by adopting Texas’ first Zero Waste Plan for a community. But we need your help. Take a moment to read the approved Zero Waste Plan 
(PDF, 937 KB). Think about how your daily activities fit into the Plan. Are you recycling? Are you thinking about the items you purchase? Are you composting?
We invite all Austin residents and businesses to join us in making Austin a leader among Zero Waste communities.
