Austin’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED), is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. Prerequisites and credits differ for each rating system, and teams choose the best fit for their project.

The recycling firms that make the LEED list have been evaluated by third-party evaluators and are certified as reporting accurate, transparent, and reliable recovery, use and recycling rates according to the protocols and standards of the Recycling Certification Institute.

RECON Services has been involved in many Austin LEED Certified projects (Including those that have reached Platinum Level).

Recon can provide you with LEED construction waste recycling reports, when requested.

On June 28, 2012, the Austin City Council approved Chapter 15-6 Article 3, which regulates private solid waste collection.  If an unlicensed contractor illegally dumps your trash or recycling, you may face a maximum fine of $2,000 and one year in jail.  So, if you are going to throw it out, be sure it gets disposed of legally.  Take your stuff to the nearest landfill, recycling facility or hire a licensed hauler.
