Brush Drop-Off Fees Waived

To help residents clean up after Hurricane Harvey, Comal County will waive its usual fees for dropping off brush through Saturday, Sept. 16.

The fees will be waived for non-commercial customers who bring proof of county residency with their load of brush.

“We’ve received numerous reports of branches and limbs knocked down by Harvey, as well as some reports of trees blown over,” said James Tart, coordinator of the county’s Moe Schwab Recycling Center. “Waiving the fees will help homeowners clean up their property without adding to the cost.”

The Recycling Center, located outside the New Braunfels city limits at 281 Resource Dr., is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

Comal County is also encouraging residents to help prevent mosquito breeding by draining or dumping any standing water left on their property from Harvey’s rainfall.
