San Miguel County Solid Waste

A county-run solid waste facility in Las Vegas, New Mexico, used by residents and small haulers for household trash, yard debris, and basic recycling. Located on W National Ave, it handles the kinds of loads local folks bring when cleaning out a garage or doing seasonal yard work.

Pull up to an entrance booth where attendants typically check vehicles and direct traffic; there’s a clear drive lane for drop-offs. The site is open-air with several large containers and roll-off areas; recycling bins are usually grouped to one side past the booth. Larger trucks and trailers move slowly through the yard, so expect to share the space with commercial vehicles. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, and vehicles often queue in the access lane.
