Solid Waste Facility
Stanley Solid Waste Convenience Center
48-98 Co Rd 14A, Stanley, NM 87056
Small county solid waste site serving Stanley and nearby rural households. You’ll see a simple setup used by locals dropping off household trash, yard clippings, and assorted recyclables. The location is out on a gravel county road, so plan for a bit of dust on drive-in.
There’s an entrance booth area where people pull up to check in before moving to the drop-off bays and open containers. The site is low-key - think gravel pads, a few roll-off containers, and piles or bins rather than buildings. Vehicles line up at busy times, especially weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so allow extra time. Expect a stark desert backdrop and basic signage pointing to the different collection points.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring tarps and tie-downs; loads can shift on the bumpy road in and dust is common from the gravel surface.
- Try to arrive early if possible-weekend afternoons are the busiest and lines form at the entrance booth.
- Sort anything that can be kept separate (metal, brush, cardboard) before getting there to speed up unloading at the right drop points.
