City collection Furniture has a curbside day and a self-haul route. The grappler service exists for bulky waste too large to fit the regular container and runs once a month on the normal trash pickup day, and the county collection centers name furniture among the loads a truck with side boards or a trailer can bring in for a flat rate. No charge. City of Las Cruces residential customers on the city solid waste and grappler service, for whom the monthly grappler day carries no separate charge. Material beyond that service is a self-haul load priced at the gate.
City collection The city and the authority do not name a mattress among the bulky items they collect, The grappler service is defined as taking bulky waste too large for the regular container, which is the category a mattress falls into, but the city's own item list sits behind a bot challenge that could not be read, so this is a question rather than a documented acceptance.

Call the city solid waste customer service line at 575-541-2111 or the authority at 575-528-3800 to confirm whether the mattress goes out on the monthly grappler day or has to be self-hauled, and ask what the gate charges either way.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Las Cruces does not ask a household to solve a large item on its own. City residential trash comes through the Las Cruces Utilities Solid Waste Department, and the same service carries grappler days: a bulk collection once a month on the normal trash pickup date for the waste that will not fit in the container. Everything else runs through the South Central Solid Waste Authority. The Las Cruces Recycling Center at 2855 W Amador is a free residential drop-off for household recyclables, glass, scrap metal, white goods, electronics and household hazardous waste, and the Amador Avenue Transfer Station takes self-haul trash at published gate rates. Electronics are the category with the clearest published boundary: data storing devices are free, while laptops, monitors and televisions carry a fee and a limit of three units per household a day. White goods are free unless the unit still holds refrigerant, in which case the center wants certified proof of removal or charges to take it. The county landfill at Corralitos is not the household route, because the authority says access needs a solid waste account.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Las Cruces residential customers on the city solid waste and grappler service, for whom the monthly grappler day carries no separate charge. Material beyond that service is a self-haul load priced at the gate.
When & how
Put the furniture out on the grappler day, which comes once a month on the normal trash pickup date for the address, and use the Grappler Schedule lookup or call 575-541-2111 to find the route and day. The Amador Avenue Transfer Station takes a self-haul load Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole and out of the regular container, and put it at the collection point on the grappler day rather than leaving it out for a week. A self-haul load has to be tarped or secured or the gate may add an additional charge, and the county collection centers sell coupons in fixed amounts with no change given.

When & how
Confirm first. If the mattress is taken on the grappler day it goes out once a month on the normal trash pickup date, and a self-haul trip is possible any day the Amador Avenue Transfer Station is open, Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the regular container, and keep it clear of the collection point until the day it is collected. Confirm the destination before loading a vehicle, and tarp or secure a self-haul load so the gate does not add an additional charge.
White goods are a named drop-off at the Las Cruces Recycling Center, which takes scrap metal and appliances such as refrigerators and freezers free from residents. The center is a residential service only, does not buy material, and the same site takes the household recyclables and glass.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City and county residents dropping off their own household white goods at the Las Cruces Recycling Center at 2855 W Amador, which is free for residential use and closed to commercial users. A unit that still holds refrigerant is the exception and is handled by the cooling rule.
When & how
Take the appliance to 2855 W Amador. The center opens seven days a week, with Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the last customer accepted at 4:45 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the last load at 3:45 p.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it upright for the trip, and say what it is at the gate so staff can route a unit that holds refrigerant to the right handling. The center does not pay for any material, so expect no credit for the metal.

When & how
Take the unit to 2855 W Amador during center hours, Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Have the refrigerant removal certification with you, because the gate decides the handling from it.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and remove or secure the doors, keep it upright for transport, and keep the certification for refrigerant removal where the attendant can see it. Do not put the unit in the regular container or on the grappler pile while the refrigerant question is unresolved.
Electronics go to the Las Cruces Recycling Center or a county collection center. Data storing devices such as desktops, MP3 players and smartphones are free, while laptops, monitors and televisions carry a fee and a limit of three units per household a day, and business generated material is refused.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residents dropping off household electronics at the Las Cruces Recycling Center at 2855 W Amador or at a county collection center. Data storing devices such as desktops, MP3 players and smartphones are free. Laptops, monitors and televisions carry a fee and are limited to three units per household per day.
When & how
Drop off at 2855 W Amador, open seven days a week with Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or at a county collection center, where a trash coupon is punched once for up to three units in a day. The authority answers at 575-528-3800.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data before the device leaves the house, remove toner and print cartridges from a printer because they are refused in the electronics stream, and count the units, because monitors and televisions are capped at three a household a day. Business generated electronics are not accepted.
Construction and demolition debris has no curbside route in Las Cruces and is priced by weight at the authority's self-haul sites. The published 2026 rate is per ton at the Amador Avenue and Chaparral transfer stations, with a minimum tip fee for a load, and the county landfill price is lower but is not offered to households.
City cost & eligibility
From $8.36 per load at the published 2026 minimum tip fee, with a flat rate of 17.02 dollars per load, 68.05 dollars per ton at the Amador Avenue and Chaparral transfer stations and 53.02 dollars per ton to dump construction and demolition debris at the Corralitos Landfill, and an untarped or unsecured load may carry an additional charge. Residential self-haul loads delivered to an authority transfer station, where the tonnage rate and the minimum tip fee apply by weight. Corralitos Landfill is not offered to households because the authority says access requires a solid waste account.
When & how
Take the load to the Amador Avenue Transfer Station at 2865 W. Amador, open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and expect the gate to weigh it. Nothing is collected from the curb, and the grappler day is for bulky household items rather than a demolition load.
Get it ready
Tarp or secure the load so the gate does not add an additional charge, keep dirt, rock and concrete in mind because they carry their own handling, and keep paint, chemicals and other hazardous material out of the load and on the household hazardous waste route instead.
Neither the city nor the authority names exercise equipment, A machine is normally bulky waste too large for the container, which is the grappler category, and it can also go in a self-haul load at the transfer station rate, but neither is written down for a treadmill or a weight machine.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine rate is published and no page in the evidence set names one. Call the city solid waste line at 575-541-2111 to ask whether the machine is taken on the grappler day, or the authority at 575-528-3800 about a self-haul load, and confirm the figure before loading a vehicle.
When & how
Confirm the route first, then set the machine out on the monthly grappler day or take it to the Amador Avenue Transfer Station, open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, remove or tape any battery pack, and keep the frame clear of the regular container. Tarp or secure a self-haul load, because an uncovered load may carry an additional charge at the gate.
The grappler is Las Cruces' bulky item service. It runs once a month on the household's normal trash pickup date and exists for the waste that will not fit in the regular container. Anything beyond that day is a self-haul load, priced at the gate or through a county collection center coupon.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Las Cruces residential customers on the city solid waste and grappler service, with the monthly grappler day included in that service. Self-haul loads and county collection center loads are priced separately.
When & how
Check the Grappler Schedule for the route and pickup day, or call 575-541-2111, then put the material out on the monthly day that matches the normal trash pickup date. Self-haul loads go to the Amador Avenue Transfer Station, open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the material out of the regular container and put it at the collection point on the grappler day rather than leaving it out early. The authority notes that solid waste does not run on one listed holiday and service moves to the following day, while regular service continues on the other city holidays, so the calendar matters in those weeks.
Household chemicals have a free residential drop-off. The Las Cruces Recycling Center and the county collection centers take corrosive, flammable, reactive, radioactive, toxic or poisonous household products, including paints and stains, cleaners, motor oil and fluids, pesticides, cooking oils, sealant, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and batteries, and televisions and cathode ray tubes are accepted with a minimum charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residents dropping off their own household hazardous waste at the Las Cruces Recycling Center at 2855 W Amador or a county collection center, limited to no more than five gallons per person per day and closed to commercial users.
When & how
Drive to 2855 W Amador, open seven days a week with Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or to a county collection center. The authority answers at 575-528-3800. Sharps have their own collection page.
Get it ready
Keep products in their original containers where possible, keep gasoline and other fuels in approved containers, and count the volume, because the center accepts no more than five gallons per person per day. Alkaline batteries, compact fluorescent bulbs and Styrofoam are not accepted, and a television or cathode ray tube brought with a chemical load carries a minimum charge.
Everything except the container waits for the monthly grappler day
The grappler service takes the waste that will not fit in the regular container, and it comes once a month on the household's normal trash pickup date rather than on demand. Residents look up their route and day on the Grappler Schedule or call 575-541-2111, and the published grappler line is 575-528-8068 with Spanish available.
The published schedule notes that solid waste does not operate on one listed holiday and that service moves to the following day, while regular service is provided on all the other city holidays. In a week with that holiday a household should check the schedule rather than assume the usual pickup date.
A refrigerant unit needs its refrigerant removal certification
The Las Cruces Recycling Center takes white goods free from residents, but a refrigerator needs certified proof that the refrigerant has been removed or pays a removal fee at drop-off. The center is a residential service only and does not buy material, so there is no scrap credit to offset the trip.
Monitors and televisions stop at three a household a day
Data storing electronics such as desktops, MP3 players and smartphones are free, while laptops, monitors and televisions carry a fee and a limit of three units per household per day, and a county collection center visit punches the trash coupon once for up to three units. Printers are accepted without toner or cartridges, and business generated material is refused.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

The service runs once a month rather than on demand, it covers bulky waste that will not fit the container, and it is a city service with the county referral for households outside the city.

Coupons come in fixed amounts and no change is given at the center, an untarped or unsecured load may carry a published additional charge, and tires are limited to four per visit. The center takes residential material rather than commercial loads.
