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.
Alden & TJ talk recycling on location at our downtown recycling center in this short video created by one of our volunteers, which also features Carlos on our trusty forklift and several AmeriCorps team members. Check it out!
