At Comal Iron & Metals, we’re excited to announce a new addition to our facility designed with you, our community, in mind: our donation bin is now accessible right outside our gates! With recycling efforts being cut at both the City & County level, we wanted to ensure that our eco-warriors concerns were heard! This bin is our way of making it easier for those who want to recycle metals. Now, whether it’s a quick drop-off of aluminum cans or an old appliance, you can do your part for the environment and support a great cause, all at your convenience!
Turning Donations into Local Impact
Your donations make a difference! This year, the metals collected in our new bin will help support Pink Warrior Advocates, a local organization dedicated to helping women in New Braunfels facing breast cancer. This bin allows us to turn your recyclables into real, local impact, funding resources that provide hope and support for these incredible women.
What Metals Can Be Donated?
Our bin accepts a wide variety of metals, including old appliances, aluminum cans, and more. If you’re unsure about what can go in the bin, feel free to stop by during business hours and talk to one of our team members—they’re always ready to help and answer any questions or visit our recycleable metals page!
A Friendly Reminder: No Lithium-Ion Batteries (AKA Rechargable Batteries)
For the success of the bin—and to ensure everyone’s safety—we ask that lithium-ion batteries otherwise known as rechargeable batteries are not placed in the donation bin. These batteries pose a safety hazard, so if you’re uncertain whether an item contains lithium-ion batteries, please bring it inside the gates during our hours. Our team is happy to help you determine whether or not a battery is present. To recycle these batteries responsibly go to https://www.call2recycle.org and find your local drop-off station.
Join Us in Making a Difference, One Drop at a Time
We’re so grateful for a community that cares about responsible recycling, and we’re humbled to provide a more flexible way to donate metals. Every item you drop off not only supports our environment but also helps those in need right here in New Braunfels. While you’re there, snap a photo of your donation and tag us with #ComalGoesGreen! Each quarter, we’ll pick a lucky winner to receive a special prize as our way of saying thanks for helping us make a difference. Whether you’re passing by or stopping in, we thank you for joining us in this mission!
