Bernalillo County offers scheduled bulk item pickup and operates convenience centers for large items. Appliances must have refrigerant removed by a certified technician per EPA rules. Electronics and HHW go to the Advanced Resource Recovery Facility.
Bernalillo County Solid Waste provides bulk item collection by appointment for subscribers, typically once or twice per year per household. Eligible items include furniture, mattresses, and large appliances after EPA Section 608 refrigerant recovery.
