What’s your take on Zero Waste?

The City of Austin recently passed a resolution approving Zero Waste as a comprehensive way to manage the nearly one million pounds of waste going into our landfills each year. To achieve Zero Waste goals, the City is striving for a 20% reduction in the amount of waste sent to landfills by 2012, a 75% reduction by 2020, and a 90% reduction by 2040. In order to reach these goals, we need help from you.

The City wants your opinion to help shape and improve city programs, facilities and outreach to make Austin a leader among Zero Waste communities. Please take five minutes of your time to participate in our Zero Waste survey. The survey will be available through the month of June.
