Other notes
- Fees are from the city tipping fee sheet effective July 1, 2026-June 30, 2027; tax is not included unless stated.
- Source conflict: the Landfill Services web page says residents pay $9.92 for the first 500 lbs or less, while the 2026-2027 fee sheet says $9.81 for the first 300 lbs. The fee sheet also lists passenger tires as both $10.38 and $10.39. We show the fee sheet amounts; confirm at the scale.
- More than 10 tires per truckload require a tire manifest (20.9.20.50 NMAC).
- Tarp all loads.
