Frequently Asked Questions
What are the hours for the Albuquerque recycling drop-off at 1250 Menaul NE?
The Solid Waste Menaul site is open every day of the week from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., including weekends and most holidays (verify holiday closures by calling 311 or (505) 761-8100).
Can I recycle glass at the Menaul drop-off site?
Yes, but glass must go in the designated yellow bin at the site — not in the standard recycling bin. Glass placed in the regular recycling container cannot be processed and contaminates the load.
Does the Menaul recycling site accept electronics or plastic bags?
No. Electronics (TVs, computer monitors) and plastic bags are not accepted at any Albuquerque drop-off site. Electronics can be recycled through Albuquerque's periodic e-waste collection events; plastic bags can be returned to participating grocery stores. Call 311 for current e-waste event schedules.
