MoveOutATX is a community effort to keep good stuff out of the landfill during the university move-out season. The program kept 62 tons of material out of landfills and provided over $150,000 in economic value to our local economy in 2018. We hope to top that this year!
MoveOutATX is facilitated by the City of Austin in partnership with the UT Office of Sustainability, Keep Austin Beautiful and the State of Texas Alliance for Recycling.
