Platinum Recovery & Recycling specializes in catalytic converters and buys them from suppliers nationwide. Each converter is video graded and decanned with the company's patented process, then the ceramic substrate is crushed, milled, and assayed with ICP and XRF analysis to measure precious metal content. The Seguin facility also takes cores from starters, alternators, compressors, and gearboxes, along with lead acid batteries, wire, and non-ferrous metals. Suppliers get pricing from a database of more than 15,000 analyzed converters and a mobile grading app, and payment comes by cash, check, or wire transfer. Visits are by appointment only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Seguin TX have curbside recycling?
Yes. Waste Connections collects residential garbage and recycling for the City of Seguin, both on the same day. Look up your day by entering your address in the City Services app or at seguintexas.gov/yourcityservices. Call Citizen Relations at 830-401-2445 for missed pickups or cart replacement.
How do I set out trash and recycling carts in Seguin TX?
Place carts at the curb by 6 a.m. on service day. Only Waste Connections carts are collected, and everything must be inside the cart; bags of leaves or items beside the cart stay behind. Alley pickup continues for garbage and recycling. Extra carts carry a monthly fee: call 830-401-2460.
How does bulky item pickup work in Seguin TX?
Crews pick up bulky items quarterly, two items per quarter, from the curb in front of your home (never from the alley). Enter your address at seguintexas.gov/yourcityservices to find your dates. For extra items, pick up as many as 4 free vouchers a year at the City Secretary's Office in City Hall and use them at the Post Oak Landfill.
How does brush pickup work in Seguin TX?
Seguin collects brush on a 5-zone, 5-week rotation, so each zone gets one pass every five weeks; check your zone in the City Services app. Stack brush at the curb by 7 a.m. Monday of your collection week, clear of mailboxes, poles, and meters. Pieces are limited to five feet long and twelve inches in diameter. Leaves, yard trimmings, bamboo, banana plants, and palm leaves do not count as brush.
Where can I take items Seguin TX curbside pickup refuses?
Curbside crews refuse construction debris, paint, tires, and appliances with Freon. Take them to the Guadalupe County collection station at the Kingsbury Landfill, FM 2438 and CR 204 (Old Luling-Seguin Road), open Wednesday through Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call 830-303-9317 before you haul, or compare other transfer stations.
What is Seguin TX Clean-Up Day?
Seguin holds a free Clean-Up Day every spring and fall, 8 a.m. to noon in the Seguin Coliseum parking lot, 950 S. Austin Street. Bring a photo ID or utility bill showing city residency, and city employees help unload. It takes junk, scrap metal, appliances without Freon, up to 10 car tires (19.5 inches or smaller, no rims), and up to 2 boxes or bags for shredding. Brush, paint, oil, electronics, and construction debris are refused.
