Socorro County Solid Waste Department

A county solid waste site in Socorro that handles household trash, yard debris and some recycling options for local residents. Neighbors, contractors and people hauling a truckload of junk use this place for drop-offs and cleanup runs. It sits on Park Street near town, so it’s easy to find from the center of Socorro.

Expect a fenced lot with a small entrance booth and a drive-in area where vehicles line up to dump. There is typically a scale and traffic flow that routes vehicles to different piles or containers depending on what is being dropped off. Recycling bins are often grouped to one side, while larger debris and brush are pushed into open areas. Weekends and spring cleanup bring more traffic, so a short wait is common during busy times.
