Austin Resource Recovery Interlocal Agreement Recommendation In summer or fall 2021, Austin Resource Recovery intends to seek Council approval to negotiate and execute an interlocal agreement with Travis County relating to (1) services provided by the City to County residents* at the Austin Recycle & Reuse Drop-off Center (RRDOC) and (2) pharmaceutical collection services provided by the County to City residents. This agreement would replace an existing interlocal agreement with the County that relates only to household hazardous waste services provided by the City. The new interlocal would enable the City to provide a broader range of RRDOC services to the County and would allow the City to benefit from County services. *Note that Travis County will reimburse the City for services provided by the City to County residents who live outside the city limits, since RRDOC services are already available to persons residing within the city limits.
