Will the city take it?

Appliances without Freon go to the City Recycle Center on South Castell Avenue instead, which also takes scrap metal, cardboard and recyclables free for residents and businesses with proof of residency. Electronics are refused at all three of those routes, and household chemicals go to the city's hazardous waste drop-off events.

Get it ready
Empty and clean the unit and leave the Freon work to whoever handles the refrigerant, because appliances with Freon are on the center's refused list. Keep appliances out of the bulky events and off a curbside bulky request, where they are not accepted.

City cost & eligibility
No television route or price is published. Electronics are refused at the bulky drop-off events, electronic devices including wires and cords are refused at the City Recycle Center, and the city has not published an alternative, so confirm the route with the city at 830-221-4000.

City cost & eligibility
No household construction rate is published. The bulky events refuse construction, demolition and remodeling material and the Recycle Center refuses wood and lumber, while the city links a dumpster rental service, so confirm the container and the price with the city at 830-221-4000.

City cost & eligibility
The quarterly drop-off events are free and the curbside bulky pickup carries the published service fee, but a machine is not named and items primarily metal or glass are not eligible for the curbside route. Confirm the machine and which route fits it with the city at 830-221-4000.
When & how
Call the city to confirm the machine, then either take it to a quarterly drop-off event at one of the listed sites or book the paid curbside pickup.

City cost & eligibility
The city states it offers City and Comal County residents the chance to dispose of household hazardous waste such as chemicals, oil and cleaners safely, through drop-off events listed on its calendar, but publishes no fee. Confirm the next event and any charge with the city at 830-221-4000.

Garbage has to fit in the cart with the lid closed. A bag left outside the cart is collected only when it carries a city-issued excess garbage tag.
City cost & eligibility
$21.65 per book of five city-issued excess garbage tags. New Braunfels residential customers, with the tags sold at the City Municipal Building at 424 S Castell Ave.
When & how
Buy the tags before the collection day, then fix one to each bag that does not fit in the cart.
Get it ready
Keep the lid closed on the cart, bag anything extra, and put a tag on every bag left outside, because untagged bagged garbage is left behind.
Curbside bulky collection uses a large truck with a lifting arm, so everything has to be at the curb and fully accessible at the scheduled time with clear space around it. The service fee is non-refundable once the pickup is booked, and refunds are not issued if the items are moved before arrival, are not out when the crew arrives, or cannot be collected because access is blocked, placement is improper, or the load does not meet the programme requirements. Metal or glass items are not eligible.
The free Bulky Garbage Drop Off events run once a quarter at five sites, and a load has to match the accepted list: furniture, mattresses at most sites, whole passenger car tires without rims limited to four per resident, and other non-metal bulky items too large for the trash cart. Electronics, appliances, green waste, hazardous waste, regular garbage, scrap metal, construction and demolition material, fixtures and business trash are refused, with mattresses excluded at the New Braunfels Utilities Service Center site.
The center at 488 S. Castell Avenue requires proof of residency, a valid ID or a utility bill with a New Braunfels address, and it asks drivers to stay in the car while attendants remove the material. Bring items loose in a clear container rather than bagged, flatten boxes, rinse containers, keep white foam separate, cut cardboard down to 30 by 60 inches, and leave the cart and any trailer load behind.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
