Convenience Center
Don Reservoir Convenience Center
117 114th St SW, Albuquerque, NM 87121
(505) 768-3920Small neighborhood convenience center used by local residents for dropping off household trash and recyclables. Easy to spot from the street, it serves people who need a quick place to unload rather than hauling to a larger transfer station.
This is a compact site with a few roll-off containers and likely a simple entrance lane where vehicles pull up to unload. There may be a small attendant booth or it might be unstaffed, so be ready to sort materials at your vehicle before getting out. Recycling bins are usually off to one side and the trash container is separate and easy to spot from the drive-in. Expect tight turning room if towing a trailer and space can fill up fast on busy days.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or straps to cover loose loads; wind can scatter light debris quickly.
- Load trailers so heavy items are on the bottom and be prepared to back in for easier dumping.
- Sort recyclables and yard waste at home first to avoid standing around rearranging things at the site.
