Buckman Road Recycling & Transfer Station

A local recycling center on Buckman Road that people from Santa Fe and nearby areas use to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors bring everything from cardboard and paper to bottles, cans and often electronics or yard debris, depending on what the center accepts.

The site looks like a typical transfer/recycling spot: an entry lane with an attendant booth and places to pull up to drop materials. Recycling bins and roll-off containers are usually grouped together a short walk from the drive-in area, with larger drop-off bays for bulky items. Expect to sort materials before getting out of the vehicle and to travel around the site to the right container for each material type. Weekends and spring-cleanup times can get crowded, so there may be a line to get to the booth or scale.
