Trash and recycling collection services in the City of Albuquerque include guidelines for residents to keep their trash and recycle carts properly maintained and placed for collection. Carts should have lids fully closed, not be overfilled, set out by 7 a.m., and removed within 24 hours. They should be placed at least five feet away from other objects for easy access by collection trucks. Specific instructions include not placing hot ashes or coals, hazardous waste, medications, construction or demolition waste, or waste containing free liquids in the carts. Sharps must be placed in a hard plastic container labeled "Contains Sharps." Green waste is accepted in the regular trash collection bin. Trash is collected weekly on designated days, with holiday schedules causing a one-day delay. Residents can request a replacement trash cart for free if lost, stolen, or damaged, with additional replacements incurring a fee. Special assistance pickups are available for elderly or disabled residents with a doctor's certification. New residents receive one 96-gallon cart for trash and one for recycling, with services initiated by contacting the Solid Waste Management department. Uncontained trash pick-up for excess garbage or yard waste not fitting in the cart can be scheduled for a fee. Residents can also request to stop service or report missed pickups.
