Austin Resource Recovery (ARR) and Austin Fleet Mobility Services (AFMS) are building a new service center to meet the needs of our growing city and advance Austin’s zero waste goal. This facility will support City operations by enhancing ARR’s ability to provide services and relieving overcrowded AFMS repair facilities. It will also include new community amenities. This project is in the construction phase. City Council District 1.

Project updates

Construction of the Northeast Service Center began in September 2025, following the groundbreaking event, where City leaders and contracting partners marked the official start of this project. Since the groundbreaking, crews have moved into early-site construction focused on preparing the land for future building foundations and stormwater systems.

Starting mid-January 2026, a brief, approximately two-month period of limited overnight work will occur due to concrete pours. During this time, intermittent nighttime noise is possible when work is occurring closest to the neighborhood. After this work is complete, construction will return to standard hours of 7 a.m.–7 p.m. All work will follow City regulations and approved construction requirements.
