Residential Curbside Composting Program Outreach, Austin Resource Recovery, City of Austin

Austin Resource Recovery (ARR) contracted Cultural Strategies to inform and educate residents living in low diversion rate collection routes (historically, where high contamination within waste carts has been registered) within the expansion areas (3 so far) about the why and how of residential curbside composting, contributing to reach Austin’s Zero Waste Goal. Efforts include the implementation of door-to-door outreach initiatives, assisting during multiple ARR-organized open houses during each expansion phase, and either organizing stand-alone events or participating in already established events to inform the community about this program.
