The Austin Reuse Coalition is a collective of nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, business leaders and passionate community members with the mission to prevent landfill waste by supporting Austin in the transition from single-use disposables to reusable alternatives.
In May 2021, the Austin Reuse Coalition organized a TrashBlitz, a community-based initiative that utilizes a network of nonprofit organizations, volunteers, and local programs to collect litter item, brand, and material data through cleanups that can be used to support better policies around plastic production, usage, and disposal.

TrashBlitz Austin helped us identify that single-use plastic food ware was one of the top items polluting our community.
To better understand what types of single-use food ware items and materials are used. With a clear understanding of the plastic items that are entering the waste stream in Austin from food facilities, we will be able to better guide businesses towards a reuse culture specific to Austin.
