Lost Creek Solid Waste Service - Transition and Sign-Up Information

As a result of our pending disannexation from the City of Austin, solid waste services currently provided by Austin Resource Recovery (ARR) will END on September 3, 2024. All carts (trash, recycling, and compost) should be placed at the curb on the evening of September 2. ARR will collect as usual on September 3rd and then send out a contractor to pick up all of their bins. There is a $25 fee for bin pick up which will appear on your Austin Utility bill. Failure to place all bins at the curb for collection will result in a $45/bin fee assessed by ARR. So please, spread the word and tell all of your neighbors!


The Limited District has contracted with Texas Disposal Systems (TDS) for preferred pricing for solid waste disposal for Lost Creek residents. Residents are not required to select TDS for their trash service. However, in order for Lost Creek to receive the lowest available rate, at least 80% of Lost Creek households must sign up. TDS is the only contractor that responded to solicitation for group pricing by the Limited District, and the pricing and service is comparable to ARR.
