The Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency is hosting Spring Free Trash Day for City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County residents on Saturday, April 17, from 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. at the Buckman Road Recycling & Transfer Station (BuRRT) and the Caja del Rio Landfill.
The Agency expects a large turnout for this popular event, so be prepared for a longer wait time than normal. Residents needing assistance with unloading should bring help with them.
Residents must also observe the following:
- Limit to one load.
- All loads must be secured and covered with a tarp.
- All vehicles with trailers must go to the landfill.
- All non-acceptable items will be subject to tipping fees.
- No commercial/business waste will be accepted.
- Loads that arrive in commercial vehicles or trailers will be subject to tipping fees for commercial/business waste.
To reduce the spread of COVID-19, all customers must:
- Wear a facemask or face-covering at all times.
- Limit to two people per vehicle.
- Stay within their parking space and keep six feet away from others.
