I recently encouraged my young son to collect aluminum for money.

On our first visit, the window gave him a $5 bill (a paltry 41¢/lb @ 12 lbs); however, our second visit yielded $4.92 paid in EXACT CHANGE! It was then that I learned another nearby recycler offered 50% more per pound, and have been traveling to Brown Ln ever since.

I researched near by Junk removal services in Austin and found JunkGuys Austin to see if they could…read moreassist with removing our hot tub that broke during the winter freeze. My husband was able to reach out by calling/texting and someone was quickly able to provide a quote of $450-500 for labor, haul off and disposal which was very fairly priced. The final price was $600 as we didn't drain the hot tub and that would be a bit extra which we were fine with them handling to deconstructing and hauling away all. They also were able to quickly get us on schedule and the day of, updated us on their ETA during the arrival window. The crew was very professional and friendly and we were thrilled with the work and treatment of our property and hauling away everything, like you'd never know something used to be there, aka a hot tub! The electrical portion was left and the guy stated we could have an electrician come to cap it but other than that, JunkGuys was so helpful and great at taking care of this so quickly for us :) We look forward to reaching out again and using them next time we have projects that require further clean out and removal of things!

I was in town for a plastics recycling conference in November. My company is involved in…read moredevelopment of sustainable label solutions for processing at companies like Balcones. We had a tour of the facility, it was really impressive, the scope and overall methodology in separating different recycling streams of various materials. It was incredible, seeing PET/PP/HDPE/Glass/paper, etc. This was truly eye opening, understanding how the recycling process specifically at this location in Austin is handled. They broke down our large group into smaller ones, so that the tour was personalized, and we were able to ask questions, understand how we can better target more successful recycling of used products, and how to understand our development of new label technologies to help in this process altogether. Thanks to the team here for their guidance and learnings- and then also for what you are doing in TX for future sustainability knowledge and growth.

Austin Resource Recovery did not pick up my curbside trash again as they had done also 2 months…read moreago. Trash pickup is an important job, but apparently it is not important to this COA affiliate. Worse, I had to call 311 several times to get attention to this recurring issue ( and they were very helpful and friendly, btw). I was allowed to contact Dayne- the supervisor for trash pickup- but was stonewalled by him. He would not answer the 3 emails I sent. With my trashcan overflowing and no reason for it to be left un-emptied, I then tried to escalate my request through 311 but was told I had to wait 2 business days. However--to their credit, yesterday afternoon the can was emptied while I was at work. Lingering question--why does Dayne appear not to care about this? He appears to dislike reminders that his department made another mistake. Good customer service COA style would have meant an immediate apology and a friendly offer to fix the situation. So, I am going to make sure others know about this recurring trash pickup problem, and yelp is just one way. Customer service from COA is usually great. I'm sorry, but this time it didn't happen.
