More Austinites will be able to stick their food scraps on the curb come February.
The City of Austin is expanding its curbside composting program to the last batch of public trash collection customers. Roughly 55,000 more homes throughout the city will be able to have their compost picked up by Austin Resource Recovery, bringing the total served by the program to 207,000 by mid-February.
The program includes mostly single-family homes and excludes many multi-family properties, like apartment buildings, since those are typically serviced by private trash collectors. Residents can search their address here to see if they re included in the program and when their first collection will be.
