How to Dispose of Yard Waste in Austin, TX
Small branches and yard trimmings go in Austin’s weekly composting collection (green cart + limited extras). Large brush (about 5–15 ft limbs) uses on-demand brush collection — up to three per year — stacked loosely at the curb. Brush is not accepted at the Recycle and Reuse Center; Hornsby Bend is the brush drop-off alternative.
