River City Steel & Recycling Inc

Established in 1982 by Alton S. Newell, founder of Newell Recycling, under the laws of the State of Texas, River City Steel provides a yard of over 30 acres of new and used structural steel products. The company is located in San Antonio, TX and has provided South Texans with steel needs for 30 years. The yard was originally set up as a scrap metal feeder yard to Newell Recycling Company.

The original idea was to have a yard that could be self sustaining in the south side of San Antonio so customers would not have to take the extra time to get down town and still receive the same competitive prices for their items. Mr. Alton Newell sold River City Steel to Justin Triesch (his grandson) in 1990, and River City Steel has moved on to become one of the largest new and used steel distribution center in South Texas. Following the sale in 1990, the company was determined to keep the same principles that started the original yard - Honesty, Integrity, and Customer Service.

In October of 2011 Justin collaborated with his staff on a few ideas and electronics was the main topic. There are electronics thrown in our scrap pile every day and it was time to provide a program that takes in and pays for electronic scrap. The new program takes in various types of electronics scrap such as towers, flat screen monitors, laptops, etc. The new trend has shown that our efforts can make a difference in our community.

River City Steel boasts a team that is motivated, knowledgeable, and friendly. We hope to have the opportunity to prove that to you time and time again.
