Over 80% of Austin's landfill waste is reusable, recyclable or compostable. A big majority of that waste comes from businesses with single-use waste being a big culprit. Help stop the workplace waste by making the switch from single-use to reusable.
Austin Resource Recovery has the resources that can help guide you towards a more sustainable workplace. Start with One Austin! Here you'll find suggestions that can get a business closer to a Zero Waste Goal.
Ditch the single-use cups, containers, plates and utensils for their reusable options. Encourage co-workers to bring their own coffee mugs and water bottles. A much greener option, that can save green too!
Making the switch allows a business to apply for up to $1,800 in rebates. They can be used towards commercial hauling and indoor compost collectors. Switching from single-use plastic items to more sustainable options for to-go items, bags, straws and cups. Replacing single-use items with reusable ones. Providing indoor recycling bins.
The Zero Waste Business Rebate from the City of Austin gives businesses what is needed to improve on their waste reduction and expand their programs. Find out more about becoming a Net-Zero Hero at work.
Congratulations to Austin Resource Recovery for being awarded the Silver Anvil Award for Most Effective Environmental, Social and Governance Campaign in honor of curbside composting, YOU ROCK!
