Types of Material We Recycle
Styrofoam Recycling
Using the most advanced technology and machinery, Hometown Recycling can recycle expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, commonly known as Styrofoam. Recycling EPS is less expensive than landfill disposal. We accept pure, white EPS.
Cardboard Recycling
Designed to meet the specific needs of our partners, Hometown Recycling provides custom corrugated cardboard recycling in Austin. We accept all types of cardboard including boxes of all shapes and sizes as well as cardboard bales. We do not accept waxed cardboard. Please be sure to break down your boxes whenever possible, and always remove any contents. Bales will have to be inspected for size and quality before acceptance.
Paper Recycling
We accept office paper, newspaper, art paper, blueprints and other paper remnants. All colors, shapes and sizes are accepted.
Plastic Recycling
At Hometown Recycling, recycling plastics is a cost effective alternative to landfill disposal fees. Materials we accept include, but are not limited to, LDPE (shrink wrap and bubble wrap), and Polyurethane (soft foam).
Large Quantities
Hometown Recycling can be your recycling broker. Call us to sell your material by the ton. Once you have enough material baled, an 18 wheeler can haul off your cardboard to be recycled. Normally, companies who need this service produce high volume very quickly. Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing or renting a baler.
Other Materials
Is your material not on our list? We find homes for unique items and materials. Charcoal, 5 gallon buckets, and ice packs are all items we have found new homes for our customers. We will do what it takes to not let it go in the landfill!
