George Morales Dove Springs Rec Back-to-School Bash

Austin Resource Recovery is setting up a booth at the George Morales Dove Springs Rec Back-to-School Bash on Saturday, August 8, at the George Morales Dove Springs Recreation Center. It's one of those community events that hits right when the school year is about to kick off, and the city's waste and recycling department is taking a spot there to help families get sorted before the first bell rings.

If you're heading over, the booth is where you'll find the recycling information. It's a good place to double-check what actually goes in the blue bin and what doesn't, especially if you've got kids who'll be tossing things throughout the day. Beyond the info, they're doing a backpack and school supply giveaway, so if you're still hunting for the basics to get your kids ready for class, this is a practical stop to make.

The giveaway is the main draw here, and it's the kind of thing that makes a real difference when you're trying to get everything together on a budget. Between the backpacks and the supplies, it's a one-stop way to check a few things off your list while you're already out.

The bash runs from 9 AM to 12 PM on Saturday, August 8, at the George Morales Dove Springs Recreation Center, 5801 Ainez Dr., Austin, TX 78744. It's a morning thing, so you can swing by, grab what you need, and still have the rest of your Saturday.
