Austin is putting together a plan to have zero trash in the future.
There are a few cities that are starting or have started the plan such as Seattle and San Francisco.
Austin hired a company from California to help in this process. They want to accomplish this by reusing and recycling everything and put nothing in a land fill.
Austin's main goal is to reduce the amount of trash to 20 percent per capita by 2012. Austin is trying to get to zero waste by 2040.
