Balcones Resources
Balcones handles both small and large private recycling accounts. Their rule of thumb concerning the materials they accept is 'anything that tears'. They can set your business up with a recycling dumpster and pick-up service specific to your needs. They also have balers and compactors available for lease or sale. At the end of every month, acountees are provided a settlement report which includes material tonnage and fyi equivalencies such as "how many trees your company saved this month", as well as all the necessary information to prove your building complies with the city recycling ordinance.
Services start at $100 per month which includes a small dumpster and a pick up once a week. Service fees increase from there depending on the size and number of containers you need and how often you need them picked up.
Balcones also accepts aluminum cans from their paper account holders. They can provide you with a separate container, or you are free to place them in the dumpster with your paper...although if you choose the latter, it is requested that you contain the cans in trash bags for separating convenience.
To contact Balcones for more information or to set up an account you can call their Customer Service Representative, Judy Briscoe at (512)472-6200. You can also access them via the internet at www.balconesresources,com.
