Austin Resource Recovery

ARR customers should follow these instructions to dispose of storm debris

Small branches, yard trimmings and leaves: Place small branches and yard trimmings into the green composting cart, lawn and leaf bags or a reusable container and set them out on the next scheduled collection day. Small branches (no longer than five feet and no thicker than three inches in diameter) that do not fit into the green cart with the lid closed should be stacked into manageable piles no heavier than 30 pounds. Typically, ARR will collect the contents of your green cart and up to 15 extra items placed beside the cart, but item limits will be temporarily waived for customers who need storm debris collected. Learn more about composting collection.
Large branches and tree limbs: ARR customers can call 3-1-1 to request a collection of down tree limbs due to the severe weather. ARR crews will assess and collect them as soon as possible. Please have the limbs at the curb ready for collection.

While there are currently no service changes for regular collections, ARR customers can get updates about future service changes by downloading the Austin Recycles app or by signing up for reminders at austintexas.gov/myschedule.
