Where and How To Recycle in Santa Fe and Santa Fe County

City of Santa Fe Curbside Program

Buckman Road Recycling and Transfer Station - City Recycling Drop Off

Eldorado Recycling - Waste Management

Las Campanas - Waste Management

Santa Fe County and Rancho Viejo Drop-Off Stations

How Do You Get Caught Recycling?

The program will work like this: Residents are inspired to recycle more because they have heard about this reward system. Santa Fe City Residents that put out their curbside recycling are randomly selected based on an address lottery system. NMRC sends the selected individuals a letter in the mail commending them for recycling and explaining that they were “caught in the act” of recycling.

WHERE
CAN I RECYCLE?

The reward of a gift certificate or similar item would be included within this letter. Santa Fe businesses caught recycling will receive a recycled-content award certificate recognizing their commitment. In the County, residents will be caught in the act at their drop-off stations, in Eldorado and Las Campanas and will be presented with their reward right away. A Massachusetts-based study noted that a reward as small as a free cup of coffee significantly boosted recycling rates. The campaign includes a companion print media component.
