Yard waste drop-off and free mulch in New Mexico
In much of the West, yard waste drop-off is called green waste or yard debris drop-off. We list 7 sites in New Mexico (all from official sources); 4 take brush and branches. 2 are seasonal or event-only and 3 do not have a confirmed map pin yet. Coverage for New Mexico is still thin — many towns and counties run programs we haven't listed yet, so check your city or county public works page too.
By type: 7 yard waste drop-off, 1 compost pickup, 3 mulch / wood chip pickup, 4 brush & branches.
Call ahead. Hours, fees, residency rules and accepted materials change. Call or check the official source page before you go. Every listing links to its source.
