Acme Iron & Metal

Acme Iron & Metal is the San Angelo yard of Txalloy, Inc., a West Texas scrap name that has served the area for more than 70 years. Bob Gregory, founder of Texas Disposal Systems, bought Acme in 1984. The yard on North Buchanan Street takes ferrous and non-ferrous metal and runs an e-waste line for computers, tablets, cell phones, power tools, lamps, and appliances. Televisions, monitors, lithium-ion batteries, items with batteries inside, mercury or lead items, and PCB capacitors are refused. Customers get same-day payment processing, and hauling or processing costs come out of the rebate, so nothing is paid up front. Demolition, property cleanout, and waste hauling run alongside the yard, which opens Monday through Friday and Saturday morning.
