Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency’s in Eldorado at Santa Fe, NM scores 83/100, reflecting largely positive feedback. Many highlight quick in/out and helpful, professional staff, an orderly, well‑maintained site, easy recycling drop‑offs, and even free mulch. Some directions are praised, yet a few found the location or on‑site instructions confusing. Common complaints involve fees/signage (tarp penalties, small‑appliance charges) and occasional single‑line waits—going early helps. Overall, reliable for disposal and recycling, with room to improve clarity and traffic flow.
Look at pics for directions.
You need to scale in. Pick up number starts with TR+ numbers.
Google maps will take you there from 599 bypass.
No overnight parking
I came from I-25 south
599 bypass
Exit Camino La Tierra / Calle Nopal
I made a right on Calle nopal
Left on Buckman Rd
Follow road, you’ll see a gated road make a right.
Drive to the end and at the stop sign make a left. Go straight to scale in. Good luck
What a terrible place. No one was helpful, the location was difficult to find, and once I got to the main building, it was all locked up. I only had basic items to drop off, but I wasn't able to. Definitely never going back there. I'll find some place else to drop off waste. What a waste of time.
Don't 5 starts if you come one time..wait until the next.
The old guy either in the enter or exit window wanted me to pay 15 dollars penalty for not having a cover on top of some pieces of concrete in my truck. I got it., but he said that even that if I go and put a tarp come back tomorrow or right now he will charge me the penalty anyways. If someone else is there they probably wont recognize me so I probably won't pay the extra $15.
Unclear instructions. Wait a long time in only one line. They should have two lines. One for the heavy trucks and one for the smaller items. I only had a coffee maker I wanted to recycle - not only would I be paying $6.50 to recycle this appliance, but I had to sit in the same line as the large trucks. When I got to the window, again, no instructions, no one opened the window, at which point I didn’t know what to do. I drove to the administration building. They were kind yet told me I had to get back in line? The way this is run doesn’t encourage people doing the right thing. Coffee maker is going to the dump now.
You couldn't ask for more a more accommodating crew. We were under the gun to complete a huge move and couldn't have finished on time without their help. Thank you Everyone!
