Fiberglass boat disposal in New Braunfels — get rid of that fiberglass hull for good
Licensed fiberglass hull pickup in New Braunfels, most jobs scheduled within the same week.
Why are fiberglass boats hard to dispose of?
Fiberglass boat disposal in New Braunfels runs $400 to $1,500 depending on hull length, foam core density, and whether fuel and fluids are still present. The Comal County landfill won't accept fiberglass boat hulls — the resin-saturated glass fibers don't break down and can't go into a standard municipal cell. Boats sitting at marinas along the Guadalupe River or in storage yards near Canyon Lake rack up slip fees and storage charges fast, and hauling an oversized hull through New Braunfels requires transport permits across Comal County roads. New Braunfels Fiberglass Boat Disposal handles that paperwork before the truck ever leaves the yard.
Most calls to New Braunfels Fiberglass Boat Disposal come from people with a fiberglass hull blocking a driveway on the east side of New Braunfels, an abandoned boat sitting in a marina slip with unpaid fees, or an estate where the family inherited a vessel nobody wants. HOA fines in New Braunfels add up quickly once a complaint is filed. Text a photo of your boat hull to get a flat disposal quote within the hour.

Can boats be recycled in Texas? Common questions answered
Where can I dispose of a fiberglass boat in New Braunfels, TX?
Hansons Boat Removal is one of the few outfits serving New Braunfels that handles the full fiberglass disposal chain, not just hauling. Fiberglass can't go to a standard drop-off site, so the hull gets deconstructed and routed to a certified processor. Most jobs in the 78130 and 78132 zip codes get scheduled within 7 days of a confirmed quote.
Does the New Braunfels landfill take fiberglass boats?
No. The Comal County solid waste facilities don't accept fiberglass hulls because the material doesn't break down and can't be compacted safely with standard waste. Fiberglass requires grinding and processing at a certified recycler before any portion of it can be responsibly handled. Dropping a hull there isn't a legal option, and most facilities will turn you away at the gate.
How much does fiberglass boat disposal cost in New Braunfels, TX?
Hansons Boat Removal prices fiberglass disposal in New Braunfels between $400 and $1,500. Hull length is the biggest driver, but foam core density and whether fuel or fluids are still aboard push the number up. A 20-foot hull with no fluids and a thin core sits near the low end. A 36-footer with saturated foam and old fuel on board is closer to the top.
Can you pick up a fiberglass boat from my New Braunfels driveway?
Hansons Boat Removal picks up fiberglass hulls from driveways across New Braunfels regularly, including properties in tighter neighborhoods off Gruene Road and along the Guadalupe River corridor. The crew assesses trailer condition, clearance, and access before the job. If the trailer tires are shot or the hull is off the trailer, Hansons Boat Removal handles that too before loading.
What do I get as proof the boat was legally disposed of in Comal County?
Hansons Boat Removal provides a disposal certificate once the hull reaches the certified processor. That document covers you for title release, HOA compliance, and any marina or Comal County code enforcement requests. It shows the hull identification number, disposal date, and processor confirmation. Keep a copy, because marinas and county offices in New Braunfels do ask for it.
