from this link:

comes the following text:

Paper

Pay-As-You-Throw customers can recycle newspapers, magazines, catalogs, 
home office paper and junk mail by putting them in a brown paper grocery 
bag or in a separate recycling bin from their recyclable containers.

Solid Waste Services cannot recycle boxboard, tissue or wrapping paper, 
facial or toilet tissue, paper towels or napkins, any wet or 
food-stained paper, dark-colored paper and envelopes and greeting cards.

If you are not a Pay-As-You-Throw customer, consult your waste company 
or building manager about whether to put paper products in your trash or 
in your recycling.

Ecology Action accepts similar paper to Solid Waste Services at its 
downtown Austin recycling drop off center.

Is it that maybe you're not in the "pay as you throw" group?

Found another link about paper recycling for city of Austin:

Hope that helps... :)
