In a time when Texas has over 200 municipal landfills, collectively disposing of nearly 40 million tons of waste, it is heartening to know that companies like Green Guy Recycling are leading the charge with their robust recycling programs.

Recycling programs are a cornerstone of San Marcos’ and Texas’ sustainability efforts. Green Guy Recycling stands at the forefront of these efforts, collaborating with the City of San Marcos to provide essential recycling services for residents. They purchase a variety of metals, batteries, and electronics, thereby preventing these items from ending up in landfills and promoting their reuse.

Moreover, Green Guy Recycling significantly contributes to a circular, sustainable economy in San Marcos by acquiring surplus building materials such as roofing sheets and I-beams and offering them for resale to local residents. This not only fills local needs but also promotes resource efficiency and sustainability.

In May 2024, the City Council approved a new 5-year contract with Green Guy Recycling, ensuring the continuation of these valuable services for San Marcos residents. This contract renewal underscores the trust and reliance the community places in Green Guy Recycling’s services.

The Greater San Marcos Partnership is proud to call Green Guy Recycling our partner. Their commitment to sustainability and the community is exemplary, and we look forward to supporting their efforts in the years to come.
