Curbside services in Austin
Compost
Composting is collected weekly on the same day as trash.
Recycling
Recycling is collected every other week. Address-specific A or B service week is shown only when official route data supports it.
Bulk pickup
Bulk, brush and household hazardous waste are on-demand services. Eligible curbside customers can schedule up to three collections for each service per calendar year.
Brush & yard waste
Brush collection is handled through Austin Resource Recovery on-demand service rules.
Street sweeping
Residential streets are swept up to six times a year. Exact next dates appear only when an official source publishes them for the location.
Downtown Austin has a different collection schedule
Trash is collected daily in the Central Business District, recycling is collected multiple days each week, compost is collected at least twice a week, and downtown streets receive nightly street sweeping. CurbCalendar will not apply a residential weekly route to a downtown address unless the City service district can be identified from an official boundary.
Austin holiday collection changes
Austin slides collection by one day only when New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day falls on a weekday and your regular collection is on or after that holiday in the same week. Weekend holidays do not trigger a slide.
Street sweeping and holiday trees
Residential streets are swept up to six times a year. Sweepers normally operate Monday through Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Starting December 26, curbside customers can set out natural holiday trees on their regular compost collection day.
Household hazardous waste drop-off
The Recycle and Reuse Center at 2514 Business Center Drive accepts household hazardous waste by appointment for Austin and Travis County residents.
