Frequently Asked Questions

Is yard-waste drop-off at Soilutions currently open?

Soilutions has temporarily paused its free community green-waste drop-off service while processing a large batch of Forest Service logs. Call 505-877-0220 or check soilutions.net before making the trip to confirm the drop-off is accepting materials on the day you plan to visit.

Can I drop off cactus or yucca from my New Mexico yard?

Yes. Soilutions accepts cactus and yucca as part of their yard-waste program — a useful differentiator for Albuquerque residents dealing with desert landscaping debris that most composting programs do not handle.

Does Soilutions accept construction wood scraps or dirt?

No. Lumber, pallets, and construction/demolition debris are not accepted. Dirt, soil, and root balls are also excluded. The program is limited to natural yard waste: branches, leaves, grass, cactus, and similar unprocessed plant material.
