Greentree Solid Waste Authority

A county solid waste site on US-70 that locals use for household trash, yard debris, and whatever else doesn’t fit in curbside cans. People from Ruidoso Downs and nearby rural roads bring pickup loads and trailers here when they’re clearing out projects.

The driveway has an entrance booth and a visible weighing scale, so plan to pull up and stop briefly before driving into the drop area. Expect open tipping areas and large roll-off containers rather than small bins; the property looks like a typical rural transfer station with dirt and gravel surfaces. Weekend days and seasonal cleanups tend to get busy, so there can be a line of trucks and trailers waiting to get in. Follow the signs for recycling or yard waste if those services are available, and keep loads covered for the dusty approach.
