Thank you for your interest in the Zero Waste Block Leader program. Please join us at the orientation session to get started!
Orientation is the first step in becoming an active Block Leader, and it is required of everyone. At orientation you will receive the educational materials we’ve designed specifically for Block Leader use, training on Austin Resource Recovery programs & services, including what can and cannot be recycled, and an opportunity to get your questions answered about all things Zero Waste. Once you have attended orientation, you will then begin receiving invitations to tours and additional trainings and networking meetups offered only to Block Leaders who are active in the program.
If this orientation session is full, or you are unable to attend on this date, please email block.leader@austintexas.gov, or call 512-974-2744, to discuss options. We can work with you on a time that is more convenient!
More about Zero Waste Block Leaders
Austin Resource Recovery is currently looking for Zero Waste Block Leaders to help answer recycling, composting, and waste questions in neighborhoods throughout the city. Block leaders are not the recycling police. They are meant to be a resource, to help neighbors collectively work toward reducing Austin’s waste.
