Citizen Collection Station on Hondo Pass is the local drop-off point for El Paso residents hauling household refuse and bulky items. Neighbors swing by with trailers, pickup loads, or car trunks when regular curbside pickup won't do.

Pull-ups are common-bring a pickup or trailer if hauling large items so unloading is easier. Expect a series of concrete pads and open-top containers where people toss or load materials by hand. Traffic can slow during seasonal cleanups, so plan for a short wait and have a clear unloading plan before getting out of the vehicle.

Before You Go
- Secure loads with tarps and straps before leaving home so nothing blows out while driving the neighborhood.
- Bring gloves, sturdy shoes, and at least one strong helper for lifting mattresses or furniture-many drops require manual handling.
- Avoid peak times by going early weekday mornings if possible; weekends, especially in spring, tend to be the busiest.
