Are these all transfer stations in New Mexico?
This page lists the transfer stations, landfills, convenience centers, and drop-off sites we have on file for New Mexico. It is not a complete municipal registry. Your county or city solid-waste department may run additional sites, especially seasonal or residents-only convenience centers.
Can I drop off household trash at these New Mexico facilities?
Most accept household garbage and bulky items, but rules vary. Some take the general public, others serve only commercial haulers, and county convenience centers may require proof of residency. Check the individual listing or call before you go.
