The Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency will host two Amnesty Days (Saturday 9/26 and Sunday 9/27) 

TRASH AMNESTY DAY AT THE BUCKMAN ROAD RECYCLING AND TRANSFER STATION THIS WEEKEND!

In support of the Toss No Mas cleanup, sponsored locally by Keep Santa Fe Beautiful, the Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency is allowing all residents, City or County, to drop off trash at the Buckman Road Recycling and Transfer Station (2600 Buckman Road, Santa Fe, NM  87506) between 8:00 a.m. and 4:45pm on both Saturday September 26 and Sunday September 27 as part of the Amnesty Program approved by the Agency’s Joint Powers Board.

FREE disposal covers items such as:

  • Garbage, rubbish, unwanted materials
  • Bulky items – large appliances, furniture, mattresses, box springs
  • Remodeling or building materials, carpet, tiles, concrete, bricks, metals

Under this program NO COMMERCIAL/INSTITUTIONAL waste will be accepted for free.  Similarly, NO SELF-DUMPING trailers will be allowed at BuRRT.

Caja del Rio Landfill is not included in this and fees will be charged for materials brought over to that facility.

Items including the following:  household hazardous waste (HHW), green waste, electronic wastes, tires and other non-trash items, will be charged normal fees for disposal. 

We encourage Santa Fe residents to download our Amnesty Day which can be found at  www.SantaFeRecycling.org.

The Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency operates both BuRRT and the Caja del Rio landfill.  The Agency facilities provide a safe and environmentally responsible way for residents and businesses to dispose of their waste and recyclables.
