Texas Treasures, Big Impact: A Celebration at Comal Iron & Metals

We’re still buzzing from the energy of our Texas Treasures Celebration—and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Earlier this month, we opened our gates to the community for an event that honored a big milestone: being officially recognized as a Texas Treasure Business by the Texas Historical Commission. It was a moment to reflect, celebrate, and share the work we’re doing together to build a more sustainable future.

A Community of Changemakers

What made this event so special wasn’t just the award—it was the people. We were joined by longtime customers, first-time visitors, and some of our most trusted partners in progress—local organizations and leaders who are making real impact right here in New Braunfels and beyond.

From small businesses to educators to environmental advocates, the crowd reminded us that recycling is never a solo act. It’s a ripple effect.
