Ecology Action

Description

Ecology Action is one of the oldest organizations in the country dedicated to recycling and other conservation issues. Ecology Action was founded in 1970 as an all-volunteer group that sought to promote several different environmental initiatives, most notably recycling. Today, the nonprofit organization operates a drop-off recycling network in six Central Texas counties that accepts glass bottles, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, aluminum and steel cans, aluminum foil, office paper, junk mail, cardboard, paperboard, and plastic bottles. The organization promotes awareness of solid waste and environmental issues, serves as a community environmental resource, and continually works to develop new strategies to promote conservation within the state of Texas.
