Your green cart can only hold so much, but you don’t have to hold it until the next pickup. 🌿

You can set out up to 15 extra items on collection day!

Bag your yard trimmings in paper lawn bags or containers under 50 lbs. and 34 gallons, or stack small branch piles under 5 feet long and 3 inches thick.

Just keep it tidy for pickup.

Overgrown brush and dead vegetation in your yard can spread wildfires quickly.

Clearing it is one of the most practical things you can do to reduce risk in your neighborhood.

Schedule an on-demand brush pickup at AustinTexas.gov/OnDemand + visit atxwildfirehub.com to check your wildfire risk and find more resources to protect your home.

Wildfires can start quickly and spread even faster, and many Austin neighborhoods are at high risk.

If you're an Austin residential curbside customer, you can schedule up to three brush pickups a year at no extra cost. Clearing large branches and overgrown vegetation from your property is one of the most direct ways to reduce wildfire risk.

Schedule through the Austin Recycles app or at AustinTexas.gov/OnDemand.

The back to school shopping list feels like it's forever long and the dollar signs just keep adding up.

What if we told you there's an alternative?

Local reuse shops in Austin carry gently used clothes, electronics, backpacks and more at prices that are a lot easier on the budget. We built the Austin Reuse Directory so you can find those shops near you.
