You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

WM takes bulk or heavy trash that is not suitable for the regular cart, and a Rio Rancho household asks for it through its My WM profile or through a WM agent. The city also gives every household one free monthly load at the Rio Rancho Landfill for approved residential waste.
City cost & eligibility
WM publishes no flat bulk rate because the price varies by area and by what and how much is set out, and the agent gives an estimate before the pickup is booked. The Rio Rancho Landfill route costs nothing up to the published monthly weight allowance and charges the gate rate for anything beyond it.
When & how
Log in to My WM and use the bulk item pickup action, or speak to an agent, then set the load out on the day WM assigns. The free landfill trip can be taken any day of the month during the landfill's open hours, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Get it ready
Describe every item when the pickup is booked so the estimate is accurate, and keep the load out of the cart. At the Rio Rancho Landfill the monthly allowance is one load for the household, the load may not exceed four tires, and hazardous waste, appliances that hold Freon, bulk liquids and business waste are refused.
Sofas, furniture items and cabinets are named by the city's hauler as bulk items, so a couch is booked with WM rather than left beside the cart. A household that would rather drive the piece itself can use its one free monthly load at the Rio Rancho Landfill.
City cost & eligibility
The bulk pickup is priced by WM at the time it is scheduled, based on the item and the volume, so no rate is published in advance. The self-haul alternative is the free monthly residential allowance at the Rio Rancho Landfill, with the gate rate applying to anything over the published weight allowance.
When & how
Book the pickup through My WM or with a WM agent and set the furniture out on the assigned day, or take the piece to the Rio Rancho Landfill during its open hours.
Get it ready
Empty the drawers, remove the cushions and loose parts, and keep the piece whole enough for two people to lift. Keep it out of the trash cart, because bulk and heavy items are not part of the weekly cart collection.
WM names mattresses and box springs among the common bulky items it collects, and the Sandoval County Landfill prices a mattress as its own line rather than by weight, so a Rio Rancho household has both a pickup route and a self-haul route.
City cost & eligibility
From $12.5 per mattress at the Sandoval County Landfill, where beds carry their own per piece rate instead of the per ton rate. Any customer delivering to the county landfill scale, where payment is cash or a business check. A WM bulk pickup is quoted by WM when it is scheduled rather than priced from a published table, and the free monthly residential allowance at the Rio Rancho Landfill also covers a mattress inside its weight limit.
When & how
Book the bulky pickup with WM, or drive the piece to the Sandoval County Landfill at 2708 Iris Rd NE, open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with loads larger than a standard pickup required in the gate before 3:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Count the box spring as its own piece, since the county prices each mattress separately, and tarp the load because an untarped load draws an extra fee at the county scale. A household using the Rio Rancho Landfill instead brings identification and a current WM bill.
The Sandoval County Landfill prices appliances as their own line rather than by weight, so an appliance has a published self-haul rate. The Rio Rancho Landfill does not accept an appliance that holds Freon, so the route depends on what the unit contains.
City cost & eligibility
$8 per appliance at the Sandoval County Landfill, where white goods are charged as their own line instead of by weight. Any customer delivering to the county landfill scale, with payment by cash or business check. The Rio Rancho Landfill refuses appliances that hold Freon, and a WM bulk pickup is quoted when it is scheduled rather than priced from a table.
When & how
Drive the unit to the Sandoval County Landfill at 2708 Iris Rd NE on a weekday or Saturday, or use the free monthly Rio Rancho Landfill allowance during its open hours if the unit does not hold refrigerant.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it upright in the vehicle, and say what it is before it goes on the scale. Keep a cooling appliance out of the Rio Rancho Landfill load, because that site prohibits appliances with Freon, and ask the county landfill whether a refrigerant unit is accepted before hauling it.
A unit that holds refrigerant is the one appliance with a printed prohibition in Rio Rancho: the Rio Rancho Landfill refuses appliances with Freon, so the county landfill, which prices appliances without stating an exclusion, has to be confirmed for the unit.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers a refrigerant unit on its own. The county landfill prices appliances per unit on its rate table but does not state whether it takes a unit that still holds refrigerant, the Rio Rancho Landfill prohibits appliances with Freon outright, and a WM bulk pickup is quoted when it is booked, so call the county landfill on 505-867-0814 or WM on 505-892-1200 before the unit leaves home.
When & how
Confirm the unit first, then either take it to the county landfill during its open hours or book it on a WM bulk pickup.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, keep it upright, and be ready to say whether it still holds refrigerant, because that answer decides which site will take it. Do not put it out with the curbside cart, because appliances are not cart material and the household hauler refuses Freon appliances at the city landfill benefit.
Electronics are refused in the curbside cart, so a television or computer leaves through WM's At Your Door collection, a city e-waste drive or the county landfill, which prices a television as its own line.
City cost & eligibility
$33 per television at the Sandoval County Landfill, where televisions carry their own line on the rate table. Any customer delivering to the county landfill scale, with payment by cash or business check. WM's At Your Door collection and the city e-waste drives have their own terms and are confirmed with the operator rather than priced from a published table.
When & how
Book WM's At Your Door collection, take the device to a city e-waste event, or drive the load to the Sandoval County Landfill during its open hours and tarp it.
Get it ready
Remove personal data from anything that still powers on, keep the device whole, and keep electronics out of the cart and out of the recycling cart. At Your Door mails a collection kit and the items go to the front door or outside the garage before 7 a.m. on the pickup day.
Construction waste is refused in the curbside cart, so a project load goes to the Sandoval County Landfill, which takes a bagged load, a bed level load or a per ton load and accepts construction and demolition debris with two printed conditions.
City cost & eligibility
From $1 per bag at the Sandoval County Landfill, where a bagged load is capped at four bags and larger loads move to the bed level, above bed level, truck trailer and per ton rates. Any customer delivering to the county landfill scale. Construction and demolition debris is accepted with no asbestos and with a copy of the inspection document when the building was built before 1980, every load has to be tarped or a residential no tarp fee is added, and payment is cash or a business check only.
When & how
Haul the load to the Sandoval County Landfill at 2708 Iris Rd NE on a weekday or Saturday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., with a load larger than a standard pickup in the gate before 3:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Tarp the load before leaving, because an untarped load draws an extra fee, and bring the inspection document for a building from before 1980. Keep asbestos, hazardous waste, propane tanks and vehicle bodies out of the load, and keep construction material out of the curbside cart entirely.
Exercise equipment is not named by the hauler's bulky list or by the county rate table, so a treadmill or a weight machine is confirmed with WM before it is set out, either as a bulk pickup or as a load at the county scale.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. WM prices a bulk pickup by the item and the volume and gives an estimate when the pickup is booked, and the county landfill charges a bed level, above bed level or per ton rate depending on the load, so ask WM on 505-892-1200 and the county on 505-867-0814 which route fits the machine.
When & how
Confirm the machine and the route first, then book it on a WM bulk pickup or take the load to the county landfill during its open hours.
Get it ready
Describe the machine, its size and its weight when the pickup or the load is arranged, and keep it out of the trash cart. A machine that is mostly metal can be described that way to the hauler, and a load taken to the county scale still has to be tarped.
The gray cart goes to the street with the wheels against the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day and comes back the same day. Everything is bagged inside it and the lid has to close, because overflow and material left outside may be charged or not collected, and the cart needs three feet of clearance from parked cars, mailboxes and anything else in the way.
What the recycling cart takes, and what it does not
The city's recycling list covers aluminium cans and foil, brown paper bags, empty aerosol cans, flattened cardboard, junk mail, magazines, newspapers, office paper, paperboard, phone books, pie tins, plastics numbered one to seven and steel cans. Glass bottles and jars and plastic bags are not accepted, and glass has its own free drop-off at the Rio Rancho Landfill on Carpenter Street.
The Rio Rancho Landfill takes one residential load of up to 1,000 pounds per household per month at no charge, with the excess charged at the gate rate and nothing carried over to another month. Bring a valid driver's license and a current Rio Rancho WM bill dated within the last 60 days or a receipt, with the address inside the city limits and matching the identification, and keep hazardous waste, Freon appliances, bulk liquids and business waste off the load.
The Sandoval County Landfill on Iris Road is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., a load larger than a standard pickup has to be in the gate before 3:30 p.m., and payment is cash or a business check only. Every load has to be tarped or a no tarp fee is added, and the household hazardous waste collection at that site is suspended.
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.
A household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance or another heavy item that will not fit in the cart and that it would rather not haul itself.
Cost & conditions
WM publishes no flat rate because pricing and available options vary by area and depend on what and how much is being collected. The agent gives an estimate before the pickup is scheduled, so confirm the price for the exact items before booking.
Arrange it
Log in to My WM and use the bulk item pickup action from the services page, or speak to an agent, describe the items and accept the estimate before the pickup day is set.
Acceptance varies by area and the pickup covers bulk and heavy household items rather than a whole property cleanout. Construction waste, auto parts, tires, hazardous waste and electronic or medical waste are refused in the regular service, and hazardous waste has a separate collection route.

Arrange the At Your Door collection for problem items
A household with electronics, paint, motor oil, pool chemicals, batteries or other problem material that no longer has a county drop-off.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the route rather than a price, so call WM to find out what the collection costs and which of the household materials it will take at a Rio Rancho address before a kit is ordered.
Arrange it
Call 1-800-449-7587 on a weekday between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., or use wmatyourdoor.com, to check the items and schedule the collection, then follow the mailed kit and set the labeled items out before 7 a.m. on the pickup day.
The service covers household problem materials that the cart and the landfill cannot take, and it is only useful for a household that will label and stage the items itself. Where the material is a refrigerant appliance or a load of construction debris, the landfill routes apply instead.
City of Rio Rancho franchise with Waste Management and the Sandoval County Landfill
Use a city e-waste recycling drive
A household with a television, computer or small electronic device that can wait for one of the city's scheduled collection events.

Arrange it
Drive to the senior center hosting the event on its date and unload the items yourself, since the drives are self-service.
The drives run for a few hours on their dates only, are hosted with Rio Rancho Senior Services, and each one has its own accepted and prohibited list. Remove personal data from a device before handing it over.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Rio Rancho.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Rio Rancho?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
How do I arrange a bulk item pickup in Rio Rancho?+
Through Waste Management, which is the city's residential hauler. Log in to My WM and use the bulk item pickup action from the services page, or speak to an agent who will confirm the items, give an estimate and schedule the pickup. Pricing and the items accepted vary by area, so the estimate comes before the pickup is booked.Official guidance
What does the free monthly landfill trip allow?+
The Rio Rancho Landfill takes one load of up to 1,000 pounds from a Rio Rancho household each month at no charge, with the excess charged at the gate rate and no rollover into another month. Bring a valid driver's license and a current Rio Rancho WM bill dated within the last 60 days or a receipt, with the address inside the city limits and matching the identification.Official guidance
Can a couch go out with the regular trash?+
No. The curbside service is a cart service for bagged household trash, and WM lists sofas, furniture items and cabinets as bulk items that need their own pickup request. A Rio Rancho household can also use the free monthly load at the Rio Rancho Landfill instead.Official guidance
What does a mattress cost to dispose of here?+
The Sandoval County Landfill publishes a per mattress rate that is charged instead of the weight rate, and the load has to be tarped or a residential no tarp fee is added. A household that books the WM bulk pickup instead is quoted by WM when the pickup is scheduled, and the free monthly Rio Rancho Landfill allowance covers a mattress inside the published weight limit.Official guidance
Where does an appliance go in Rio Rancho?+
The Sandoval County Landfill at 2708 Iris Rd NE charges appliances as their own line on its rate table. The Rio Rancho Landfill instead prohibits appliances that hold Freon, so a refrigerator or air conditioner should be confirmed with the county before it is loaded, and a WM bulk pickup is quoted by WM when it is scheduled.Official guidance
Will a refrigerator be taken with Freon still in it?+
Not at the Rio Rancho Landfill, which prohibits appliances with Freon, and the county landfill does not state whether it accepts a charged unit even though it prices appliances. Confirm the unit with the county landfill or with WM before it is loaded, and keep it out of the curbside cart in any case.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Rio Rancho?+
They cannot go in the trash cart, because electronic waste is refused there. WM's At Your Door Special Collection takes electronics along with paint, oil, pool chemicals and batteries, the city runs e-waste drives at the senior centers, and the Sandoval County Landfill charges televisions as their own line on its rate table.Official guidance
Where does a renovation load go?+
To the Sandoval County Landfill at 2708 Iris Rd NE, which publishes a rate table for bagged loads, bed level loads, above bed level loads, truck trailers, concrete, stumps and per ton waste. Construction and demolition debris is accepted with no asbestos and with a copy of the inspection document when the building was built before 1980, and every load has to be tarped.Official guidance
Will WM pick up a treadmill?+
Exercise equipment is not on the hauler's list of common bulky items, so the pickup has to be arranged and priced with WM directly, either through My WM or with an agent. The other route is a load at the Sandoval County Landfill, which is charged by the bed level or by the ton, so confirm the machine before it is moved.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Rio Rancho?+
Waste Management, under the city's franchise. The city selected WM as the residential provider, WM supplies the 96 gallon gray cart for weekly collection, and a household sets up its own WM profile so the service and the bill are in its own name. Additional carts are available for a fee, and a missed pickup has to be reported within three days.Official guidance
Is there still a household hazardous waste drop-off?+
Not at the county landfill, where the household hazardous waste collection is suspended and hazardous waste is listed as not accepted. The city routes paint, motor oil, pool chemicals, batteries and electronics to WM's At Your Door Special Collection, which is arranged by phone or online and mails a collection kit.Official guidance
What cannot go in the curbside cart?+
Construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste such as paint, oil and household cleaners, and medical or electronic waste are all refused in the curbside service, and the load has to be bagged with the lid closed. The city's recycling list also refuses glass bottles and jars and plastic bags, and glass has its own free drop-off at the Rio Rancho Landfill.Official guidance
