A coalition in Austin dedicated to advancing reuse in our community
Howdy!
Welcome to the Austin Reuse Coalition. We’re a group of passionate volunteers dedicated to making Austin an even more wonderful and clean place to live.
Did you know that:
Majority of Austin school meals are served on single-use products
Almost all venues serve drinks in single-use ware
There are currently no wide scale reuse solutions for to-go
With a growing population and limited landfill capacity, it’s crucial that we take proactive steps to create a more eco-friendly city. Like us, you love the beauty of the Colorado River, hiking the Greenbelt, and breathing Austin’s fresh air. Our mission is to partner with local schools and businesses to shift towards more sustainable practices, protecting the place we all call home.

Entertainment & Music Venues
Austin’s music venues can lead the way in sustainability. By switching to reusable cups and dishware, we reduce waste while still keeping the fun alive. It’s an easy way to make every concert eco-friendly and show the world that Austin cares about the longevity and cleanliness of our city.
Food & Drink Establishments
Austin’s restaurants and bars can cut waste by using reusable plates and cups. Not only does it help the environment, but it saves money in the long run. Customers love eco-friendly choices, and it’s a simple way for businesses to make a big impact.
Schools
Schools can teach kids about sustainability by using reusable trays, cups, and utensils. This reduces waste and helps students learn how to care for the planet. With a little effort, we can make Austin’s schools a model for sustainability.
