Play-As-You-Throw

Make Recycling a Reality

Frustrated with the amount of recyclables that get thrown away at events?  Keep Austin Beautiful can make your next event environmentally friendly with easy to use recycling containers. KAB provides free recycling containers for use at fundraisers, parties, concerts, races, and other events. 

It’s Simple

• Read our guidelines/agreement (we’ll have a hard copy for you to sign when you collect your bins)
• Fill out, save, and email us the request form
• We’ll confirm your reservation and pickup time
• Check out the containers from us at the pre-arranged time and have a wonderful event!
• After your event wipe down the containers, store them in a safe location, and bring them back to us at the pre-arranged time.

Results

KAB’s event recycling program was launched the end of 2005 when we received a grant to purchase 50 recycling bins to share with the community.  Since then the number of events borrowing our recycling bins has sky rocketed from 15 in ’05-’06 to 44 in ’06-’07 to 104 in ’07-’08!  Since the program’s inception, more than 15 TONS of recyclables has been diverted from the landfill thanks to event organizers providing the option to recycle.
