Heads up, Austin! If you had the City of Austin's Wood Reclamation event circled on your June calendar, it's time to make a change — the event has officially been cancelled for this month. The City confirmed the cancellation, so don't make the trip out expecting to drop off or pick up reclaimed wood materials.
While it's always a bummer when a beloved community resource hits a pause, this is a good reminder to stay flexible and keep an eye on official City of Austin announcements for rescheduled dates or future opportunities. The Wood Reclamation program is a fantastic way for Austinites to divert usable lumber from landfills, snag materials for DIY projects, and participate in the city's broader sustainability goals — so it's definitely worth watching for its return.
In the meantime, if you're a woodworker, home renovator, or eco-conscious resident who was counting on this month's event, check out Austin Resource Recovery's website or follow the City's official social media channels for the latest updates on when the program will resume. Signing up for city alerts can also help you stay ahead of any future changes before you load up the truck.
We'll keep this listing updated as new dates are announced. Austin's reclamation and reuse community is thriving, and this program will be back — so stay tuned and keep building sustainably!
