What that means for you
If you have a truck, a tarp and a helper, use one of the two landfills. Bring your licence and a current WM bill to Carpenter Street, or $12.50 cash to Iris Road. Unused free months do not roll over.
The catch is the road. The City Manager's figures put 373 miles of Rio Rancho's streets in the unmaintained column. If your house is out on one of those, tell us when you call, especially after rain, so we can plan where the truck stops and how far the crew walks.
Questions from Rio Rancho
Can I take my mattress to the Rio Rancho Landfill for free?

Do you go out to unpaved roads in Rio Rancho?
Yes, within reason. Tell us the road and its condition so we can bring the right truck.
Does the County landfill take a box spring?
The published price list shows mattresses at $12.50 each. Ask at 505-867-0814 how a box spring is charged.
