Bernalillo County Solid Waste Program provides weekly trash collection to unincorporated subscribers. City of Albuquerque residents receive twice-weekly service from the Solid Waste Management Department. Rural areas use convenience centers rather than curbside pickup.
In unincorporated Bernalillo County, the Solid Waste Program offers weekly curbside trash via subscription, with carts placed at the curb by 7 AM on the assigned day. Residents in rural zones without curbside routes may haul to one of the county convenience centers (Southside Transfer, East Mountain Transfer). City of Albuquerque residents under ROA 1994 §9-10 receive twice-weekly trash and weekly recycling from the Solid Waste Management Department (SWMD), with carts out by 7 AM. Holiday delays push pickup one day later for the week. Contaminated recycling carts may be skipped and tagged. Contact Bernalillo County Public Works or ABQ 311 for missed pickup reports. Fees are billed on the utility account. NMSA §74-9-1 et seq. (Solid Waste Act) sets state framework.
Carts out after collection pass: missed pickup, no refund. Repeated violations of bin placement or overfilling: $50 to $200 administrative penalty under Ch. 58 (Solid Waste). Illegal dumping under NMSA §30-8-4: up to $1,000 and/or 364 days jail.
