Recycle clean plastic bags at HEB
Keep a bag of clean plastic bags where you live and work. Bring them to HEB every time you shop. A container at each of the main entrances at the Hancock Center HEB is available to receive clean plastic bags. Plastic bags cannot go in the blue recycle bins. In fact, plastic bags can jam or break machines at the recycling facilities.
Recycling on Campus
Recycling goes in blue bins on campus. Remember: no plastic bags in the blue bins!
City of Austin curbside customers can now recycle food and beverage cartons and coated paper products in their blue recycling carts.
Residential curbside customers can learn more about what material is recyclable in their blue carts at austintexas.gov/recycling.
