I left some extra items next to my herbie but they were not taken. Why?
We no longer pickup extra items next to or on top of your herbie. You have several options:
  • Upon your request, we will empty your herbie a second time on your pickup day for a charge of $9.05.
  • If you regularly need additional pickups, we recommend obtaining a second herbie at a discounted rate of $8.72 per month. A one-time non-refundable delivery charge of $26.40 will be applied to your account, and the second herbie must be kept for a minimum period of one year.
  • You can take extra items to the Northwest New Mexico Solid Waste transfer station, located at 107 Hassler Valley Road. It is open Monday through Saturday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The transfer station charges a disposal fee for items it accepts.

For more information, please call the station at (505) 863-5776.
