Conejo Collection Center is the local dump for Los Lunas residents looking to drop off household and small construction refuse. Neighbors, landscapers, and anyone hauling a load from town use this spot when clearing out garages or yards. It's a straightforward community disposal site off Manzano Expressway.
Drive in off 1100 Manzano Expy and follow the lane toward the entrance booth and scale area - expect to stop for weighing if bringing a truck or trailer. The site is a working lot with piles, compactors, and open tipping areas; vehicles usually pull up to a drop-off point and back into a bay or open pad to unload. Recycling or special bins tend to sit to the side of the main disposal area, so look for them after the booth. Lines build up on busy days, so there's often a bit of waiting and some maneuvering with other trucks and trailers.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; spring cleanup times and Saturdays get the longest lines.
- Secure and tarp loose material ahead of time so unloading is quick and nothing blows out on the drive in.
- Have the load arranged so bulky items are easy to remove first - it makes the drop-off move faster and keeps traffic flowing.
