Travis County extends license for Bee Cave Transfer Station Eco Depot, keeping facility open

February 12, 2026

Travis County Commissioners Court voted on Feb. 10 to extend the license for the Eco Depot located at the Bee Cave Transfer Station. The extension means the Eco Depot will remain open rather than close following the previous licensing timeline.

County officials presented the item to the Commissioners Court during the meeting and approved the license continuation. The decision directly affects operations at the Bee Cave Transfer Station, which houses the Eco Depot on its site.

Keeping the license in place allows the facility to continue serving its users without interruption. Residents who use the Eco Depot for drop-off and related services will still have access to the location while the license remains active.

The extension came through a formal action by the Commissioners Court, which oversees such county-level authorizations. Court approval ensures the Eco Depot can operate under the terms set by the county for the near term.

County staff will maintain oversight of the licensed operations as the Eco Depot remains open. Any future changes to the facility's status would likely return to the Commissioners Court for further consideration.

Officials at the transfer station and members of the public who rely on the Eco Depot can continue using the site following the extension. The County's vote at the Feb. 10 meeting provided the immediate administrative authority needed to keep the Eco Depot functioning.
