Carlsbad Solid Waste Department

Small municipal solid waste site in Carlsbad used by residents and local contractors for dropping off household trash, recyclables, and yard debris. Located on W Fox St, it feels like a town facility rather than a commercial transfer station. Neighbors stop by for routine cleanouts and seasonal yard work.

A single entrance with a booth and a lane to pull up; expect to speak to someone at the booth or wait a moment while they direct traffic. The site has open roll-off areas and bins visible from the drive, with heavier traffic on weekends and during spring cleanup. There's typically a scale or weigh station near the entrance/exit area and clear signs showing where different types of loads go. The whole place has a practical, slightly dusty look-typical for New Mexico-so plan for some gravel and outdoor exposure when unloading.
