At Ecology Action of Texas, our mission is to educate and empower people to create a healthier environment. 

Ecology Action has been at the forefront of waste diversion and conservation efforts since it's founding in 1969, from creating Austin's first recycling program, to our current work of recycling the landfill itself! In 2015 we closed our downtown recycling center to focus our efforts at Circle Acres, where we are transforming a former landfill into a nature preserve to be enjoyed by all. Through tours, events, volunteer days, summer camps, and field trips, we engage our community in landfill diversion and remediation, towards a vision of a zero waste world.

Thanks to the photographic talents of one our volunteers, this blog entry is dedicated to our 707 E. 9th Street Community Recycling Drop-off Center. This is what recycling looks like at Ecology Action! 

These photos were taken last week and are pretty indicative of the impressive amount of material that Ecology Action was able to recycle during SXSW. Take our word for it, it was a lot. In fact, our amazing recycling center staff, volunteers and visiting AmeriCorps NCCC team are hard at work as we speak (it's been almost 48 hours since the festival officially ended) still sorting recycling from local music venues. 

Fun fact: last month we recycled over 150 tons of material. We can't wait to get the numbers in for March!
