Alamogordo Convenience Center

A small neighborhood drop-off point for Alamogordo residents looking to get rid of household junk and recyclables. It’s the kind of place locals use for quick trips rather than large hauls. Expect a modest setup typical of New Mexico convenience centers rather than a full-scale landfill operation.

Drive-up lanes with several open containers are common here, so vehicles usually pull up, hop out, and toss items into the appropriate bin. Some centers like this have a small entrance area or an attendant booth; other times it’s unattended and relies on clear signage and separate containers for trash, recycling, and yard debris. The site sits in a desert setting, so surfaces can be dusty and sun exposure is noticeable while unloading. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so lines or stacked vehicles are possible.
