Where in the Austin, Texas area can I recycle plastics such as # 3,4,5,7 ..etc.as well as steel cans ?

Question

As far as I can tell, curbside recycling only takes newspaper ( no cardboard ) and only # 1and # 2 plastics.
Thanks for any help folks !

There's also a place called Tri Recycling, but it costs to take your stuff there.

Anyway hope this helps, thanks for recycling. =)
