Mattress removal in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, NM
Los Ranchos has its own trash contract, so the City of Albuquerque's free pickup does not automatically apply here.

What that means for you
Los Ranchos sits inside the Albuquerque metro, but the Village has its own contract with Waste Management. The only Village drop-off we found is the green waste yard, which is no use for a bed.
That leaves three routes: ask Waste Management about a bulky pickup, drive a load to a City convenience center at the non-resident rate, or have us carry it out. The second one needs a truck and two people.
Questions from Los Ranchos
Can I use the City of Albuquerque's free large item pickup?
Not unless you are a City solid waste customer. Los Ranchos is served by Waste Management under a Village contract.
Can I take a mattress to Eagle Rock?
The City's convenience centers take non-residents at $12 plus tax a load. The City sets that rate, so check before you drive.
Do you need access to the bedroom?
Yes. We carry it out from the room, so we need a clear path and someone to let us in.
