We can't reuse time either, but we can reuse paper, any paper, by taking recovered materials and breathing life back into them.

Balcones is the largest independent recycler of high-grade paper and provider of comprehensive environmental services in the Southwest.

Balcones Resources is much more than recycling


Through our various divisions, we offer a wide range of customized environmental services in addition to recycling expertise:



The core of our business, Balcones Recycling can take virtually any paper generated in any commercial environment and process it back into useable paper products.
Our Anything That Tears© recycling program has been successful for seven years.



We offer expertise and management of the most cost effective and environmentally beneficial waste removal options for our clients.



We have a full line of recycling equipment available for sale or lease including everything from balers and shredders to desk-side recycling receptacles.



We use non-traditional techniques to produce products from otherwise useless materials.



We've developed a clean-burning alternative for coal and wood burning boilers.

Balcones Resources is headquartered in Austin, Texas, with operations in Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex and Little Rock to serve Texas, Arkansas and the south central U.S. For more information, contact us.

Our Corporate Headquarters is in the historic Haehnel Store Building. Built in the 1880s, it was a general store for the residents of East Austin until the mid-1950s. In the '60s, it reopened as Shorty's Bar and operated for about 20 years.

Shorty's was vacant for more than 20 years - until recently when Balcones Resources moved its corporate headquarters there. The Austin Revitalization Authority, a local non-profit agency, owns the building and has overseen the renovation of the historic building as well as other revitalization projects in the area. Shorty's is the first in a string of projects planned for the neighborhood. Construction of retail shops and offices, along with townhouses, will break ground later this year across the street from Shorty's - new home of Balcones Resources corporate offices.

Balcones Resources continued its sustainable building practices by preserving as much of the character, history and materials as possible.
