Transfer Stations & Dumps in Albuquerque: FAQ

Can I drop off household trash at a transfer station in Albuquerque, NM?

Most transfer stations and convenience centers take household garbage and bulky items, but some serve only commercial haulers and county sites may ask for proof of residency. Check the listing or call before you go.

How much does the dump cost in Albuquerque, NM?

Fees are usually charged by weight or by load, with surcharges for tires, mattresses, appliances, and construction debris. Some county convenience centers are free for residents because local taxes fund them.

What is the difference between a transfer station and a landfill?

A transfer station is a collection point: waste is unloaded, consolidated, and trucked to a landfill or processing plant. A landfill is the final disposal site. Convenience centers are small residential drop-off sites, often run by the county.
