Las Cruces sits in the Chihuahuan Desert, and its recycling program runs through the South Central Solid Waste Authority (SCSWA), a joint city-county agency headquartered at 2865 W. Amador Ave. City residents get a 96-gallon blue cart picked up curbside every other week, while glass, electronics, and household hazardous waste all have to go to a drop-off site instead of the bin. New Mexico has never passed a bottle-deposit law, so there is no cash-back incentive here: recycling in Las Cruces is entirely a curbside-cart-plus-drop-off system.
SCSWA asks residents to stick to what it calls the FAB 5: corrugated cardboard, plastic bottles numbered 1 and 2, copier or printer paper, and aluminum, steel, and tin cans. Mixed paper, junk mail, magazines, phone books, softcover and hardcover books, chipboard (cereal and shoe boxes), and rigid plastics 3 through 7 are accepted but listed as least preferred. Shredded paper has to be bagged in a clear bag, not a colored one, or it gets tossed.
No. Glass bottles and jars cannot go in the blue cart at all. SCSWA runs yellow glass-recycling trailers at drop-off locations around the city, sorted by color (clear, green, brown/amber, and blue), and the glass must be clean, dry, and free of lids. Broken glass is not accepted anywhere in the program because it is a safety hazard for sorters.
Both go to the SCSWA Recycling Center at 2855 W. Amador Ave, free for residential drop-off (not for businesses). Accepted HHW includes automotive and rechargeable batteries, cleaners, cooking oil, pesticides, motor oil, and paint, but not alkaline batteries, CFL bulbs, or Styrofoam. Electronics like computers, printers, and TVs are accepted too, though TVs and CRTs are capped at three per household per day and carry a minimum processing fee.
The city runs a monthly Grappler service for residential customers, a truck that picks up large items too big for your regular trash cart on your normal service day. Items that don't fit Grappler guidelines, like certain construction debris or hazardous materials, need a separate arrangement through Utilities Customer Service at 575-541-2111.
New Mexico has never enacted a bottle-deposit law, unlike the ten states that run deposit-refund systems, so there's no per-can or per-bottle payout at grocery stores. Scrap metal recycling is a separate track: SCSWA's Recycling Center and its county collection centers accept scrap metal and white goods like refrigerators and freezers, and area scrap yards buy metal by weight.
