Small neighborhood drop-off spot for Albuquerque residents who need a quick place to unload household trash and recyclables. Mostly used by folks from nearby SE Albuquerque neighborhoods and those passing off Los Picaros. Comes across like a basic convenience center rather than a big transfer station.

Drive up to a single entrance with a low-profile booth or unmanned lane; pull up close to the containers to unload. There are separate roll-off containers and smaller bins for recyclables and yard clippings-easy to tell from the signage and the different colored dumpsters. The surface is paved but not fancy, with room to maneuver a pickup or small trailer; larger trucks can be tight. Weekends and spring cleanup bring more cars, so expect a short wait then.

Before You Go

  • Bring tie-downs or a tarp for loose yard waste so it doesn’t blow out while driving through the site.
  • Have loads staged in the truck bed for quick dumping; parking and hopping into the bed is faster than shuffling around cones.
  • If the booth looks unmanned, be prepared to self-sort between trash, recycling, and green waste-containers are usually grouped together, so stop and take a quick look before unloading.
