Guide sections
Albuquerque's Solid Waste residential customers can request collection of accepted large household items. The City asks for an online request one day before the regular trash day; check the item and appointment instructions before set-out.
If the contents remain inside, decide who will carry them out. A furniture pickup request does not describe the labor of emptying several rooms or negotiating courtyard steps.
Convenience centers exclude general construction and demolition debris, including drywall and carpet, and roofing materials. They separately list an allowance of nine cubic feet of concrete, dirt, rock, gravel or brick, with contamination restrictions.
That limited allowance does not make a mixed renovation load acceptable. Confirm the exact materials and location, especially for appliances: the City's site notes and general limits are not identical.
Convenience-center vehicles must have a rated capacity under two tons, and combined vehicle-and-trailer length limits differ by site. Check these before borrowing or hiring transport.
For a street dumpster, Albuquerque provides a specific permit application and asks for submission at least fourteen calendar days before the anticipated start. Confirm the current application instructions and truck access before setting a delivery date.
Estimate rock, soil and masonry separately from furniture or packaging. For a container enquiry, show the gate, driveway surface and full truck approach; for a crew, show the carrying route from indoors.
Wasteonix can assess a request where no price appears. Include restricted products separately and confirm the material acceptance, loading work and collection date before the job is arranged.
