Located at 4001 RM 620, Bee Cave, TDS provides waste management services to the city through a collaboration with Travis County, while Eco Depot serves as an outlet for products from Garden-Ville. Travis County opened Eco Depot in 1975 and operated the transfer station until contracting with TDS in 1997, according to the news release. “I value the care and reliability Eco Depot brings to environmental stewardship and meeting community needs,” Precinct 2 Commissioner Brigid Shea said in the news release. “This court-approved contract extension helps ensure these important services remain accessible to the public.” The county encourages Travis County residents to report dumped materials to the Regional Enforcement Task Force Illegal Dumping Hotline at 877-663-8677.
