In this episode of Generous Impact, host Amanda Brummitt talks with Lauren Hust, Community Engagement Specialist at Austin Resource Recovery, about how the city is shifting from traditional waste management to sustainable resource recovery. Lauren explains key programs—curbside recycling and composting, the Recycle & Reuse Drop‑Off Center, Fix‑It Clinics, the Zero Waste Block Leader program, and the Austin Recycles app—and how they support Austin’s goal to divert 90% of landfill waste by 2040.
