Solid Waste Bureau

Solid Waste Bureau on S St Francis Dr is the county solid waste spot people from Santa Fe use for household trash, yard clippings, and some recycling. Locals swing by with pickup loads or trailers; trucks and cars both navigate the driveway and entrance area.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to stop for directions; there's a scale and a checkpoint before being let into the main tipping area. The site is open-air with piles, bins, and roll-offs visible from the drive - expect dust in dry months and mud after storms. Pull up where attendants direct, unload into the appropriate piles or containers, then return to the scale for weight-based processing. Lines build on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so vehicle queues at the entrance can be long.
