At Ecology Action of Texas, our mission is to educate and empower people to create a healthier environment. 

Ecology Action has been at the forefront of waste diversion and conservation efforts since it's founding in 1969, from creating Austin's first recycling program, to our current work of recycling the landfill itself! In 2015 we closed our downtown recycling center to focus our efforts at Circle Acres, where we are transforming a former landfill into a nature preserve to be enjoyed by all. Through tours, events, volunteer days, summer camps, and field trips, we engage our community in landfill diversion and remediation, towards a vision of a zero waste world.

our history

 

Ecology Action of Texas was founded in 1969 by a group of visionary UT students after the Round Earth Conference on UT campus, part of the organizing for the first Earth Day Celebration.  An all volunteer group at the time, Ecology Action sought to promote a variety of environmental issues, eventually focusing on recycling and landfill diversion. Today, we continue in Ecology Action's tradition of stewardship across the City of Austin, serving the entire community as trusted advocates of the environment.
