  STAR has decided to cancel all in-person meetings, including any council-related events, such as the Texas Reuse Tour, until further notice.
  

  We are working with the Reuse Council, the tour locations and hotel and will reset the Texas Reuse Tour for this summer. We will keep members and attendees apprised of any new developments through email and postings on our website.

  We ask that registered attendees:

  Cancel their individual respective hotel reservations to ensure reservations are canceled accurately.

  If you have a paid registration, we are offering the following options:

  • A transfer to the reset date (once established) for the Texas Reuse Tour; or
  • A request for a refund (Please contact jordan.fengel@recyclingstar.org.)
