Austin, TX

As of October 1, 2016, all owners or managers of multi-family residential properties with at least five units must ensure access to on-site recycling services and be in compliance with Austin’s Universal Recycling program.19 All premises for which all or part is used for non-residential use must be in compliance by October 1, 2017.20 At a minimum, the materials to be separated must include paper, plastic, aluminum, corrugated cardboard, and glass.21 Organic material must also be collected if the premises contains a food enterprise.22 A manager or owner of a property can remove the recyclable material by either contracting with a City-licensed hauler or self-hauling. When self-hauling, they have the option of not only taking the materials to recovery facilities, but also to urban and rural farms or ranches and food banks.23 In addition to a recycling plan that needs to be submitted to the City, responsible parties are also required to provide recycling information and instructions to all tenants and employees annually.24

To view the provision see Austin, TX, Code of Ordinances § 15-6-91 (2014).
