Recycling
Highland Park, in addition to our single-stream recycling throughout the building, offers recycling receptacles in our recycling center on the 2nd floor for batteries, eye glasses, candles, ink cartridges, and cloth, and a styrofoam recycling bin in the back parking lot. Styrofoam needs to be dropped off for recycling – you are welcome to join us on our visits to the Austin Resource Center!
Adopt-a-Street
Highland Park has adopted a portion of Balcones Drive through Keep Austin Beautiful. We are responsible for cleaning up litter four times each year, which we schedule on two Saturdays and two Sunday mornings. Watch the calendar for the next clean-up day or contact Alana Mallard if you’d like to host one for your family.
