To: From: Zero Waste Advisory Commission Ken Snipes Director Austin Resource Recovery Date: June 9th, 2021 Subject: Director’s Monthly Report to the Zero Waste Advisory Commission Multifamily Compost Pilot Update - May 2021 Austin Resource Recovery is in the process of conducting a Multifamily Compost Pilot. As part of the pilot, one multifamily property began composting service in late March. Two properties are scheduled to start service in May and August. Two properties withdrew from the project due to competing priorities, namely winter storm damage and change in ownership. Recruitment for additional properties continues. Social media advertising and targeted outreach has resulted in 13 inquiries of interest. Multiple properties are in the process of requesting approval to participate from their leadership teams. The chart below shows properties that showed some interest in participation and their current status. Staff is still interested in Commissioners’ assistance recruiting participants. If you know of potential properties, please contact Elizabeth Nelson at Elizabeth.nelson@austintexas.gov. ARR Solicitations Update As of May 25, 2021 ZWAC Meeting June 9, 2021 Upcoming Solicitations Under Development (in alphabetical order): 1.

The first such study was published in 2015 and is titled Austin’s 2015 Community Diversion Study. The study focused on estimating diversion from both ARR-serviced properties and commercial properties. Commercial properties include retail businesses, food service establishments, professional offices, industrial properties, institutional facilities, government facilities, and multifamily properties five units and larger. According to Austin's 2015 Community Diversion Study, Residential Waste Diversion Rate (city serviced accounts) represents approximately 15% and the Community Diversion Rate (accounts serviced by private waste haulers) represents approximately 85% of the total citywide wastage.
