AUSTIN, Texas - Austin is getting a big investment for a new solid waste recycling program.
The Environmental Protection Agency has picked the city for a $4 million grant going to a re-use warehouse.
The program is meant to find a new home for bulky items like furniture that sometimes end up in landfills even when there is some life left in them.
