Acme Iron & Metal

720 N Buchanan St

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.

Recycling in San Angelo, Texas

Republic Services collects San Angelo's trash and runs the City landfill under contract. Trash goes in the tan bin weekly, and recycling goes in the green bin every other week on the same day, trading off with bulk pickup on the off weeks. Glass and mixed paper stay out of the green bin. The San Angelo Landfill at 3002 Old Ballinger Highway takes e-waste and gives City residents a free monthly load. Government-issued ID required for regulated metals including copper and catalytic converters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in the green recycling cart in San Angelo TX?

Flattened corrugated cardboard, boxboard such as cereal and frozen food boxes, #1 and #2 plastics, steel, tin and aluminum cans, and empty aerosol cans. Glass, mixed papers, #3 through #7 plastics, foil, Styrofoam, batteries, light bulbs, hoses, wood, yard waste and tires stay out. Put recyclables in the green bin loose, never bagged.

Does San Angelo TX recycle glass?

No. The City's curbside list refuses glass along with foil and Styrofoam, and bulk pickup refuses glass too. Bottles and jars go in the tan trash bin. Rinse #1 plastics such as peanut butter and salad dressing containers, which the green bin does take.

How does bulk pickup work in San Angelo TX?

Bulk pickup trades weeks with recycling on your regular collection day, with a limit of 5 cubic yards, about a pickup bed. Furniture, mattresses, toilets, carpet, fencing, pallets, drained water heaters, flat-screen TVs, up to 15 bags of yard waste and brush bundled in 4-foot lengths qualify. Tires, concrete, roofing, glass, propane tanks, soil and household trash do not.

Where do I take old TVs and computers in San Angelo TX?

Take electronics to the San Angelo Landfill, 3002 Old Ballinger Highway, phone 325-481-7701. It takes computers, TVs, printers, copiers, fax machines, ink cartridges, DVD and VHS players, CDs and VHS tapes. City residents bring their most recent water bill and a photo ID with a matching address. Non-city residents pay a small fee.

Can I dump free at the San Angelo landfill?

Yes, once a month. City residents show their water utility bill and a matching driver's license for the free drop-off, and Tom Green County residents get a free monthly load with their electric bill. The landfill opens Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and Saturday, 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and closes Sunday.

How do I get rid of a refrigerator or AC in San Angelo TX?

A licensed professional must remove the refrigerant and tag the unit before appliances go out for bulk pickup. HVAC companies do this. Appliances without Freon qualify for bulk collection as is. Mixed metals and Freon-free appliances also go to ACME Iron and Metal, Big Country Recycling or Concho Iron and Metal.
