Free Green Waste Disposal Days in Santa Fe County

Free green waste disposal days coming up for Santa Fe County

The Stanley, Jacona, and Eldorado Convenience Centers are accepting green waste at no charge on select days each month through September.

County residents with a valid solid waste permit can bring yard waste, lawn clippings, leaves, and tree trimmings under 18 inches diameter at no charge to drop off. Green waste is processed into mulch and compost, which is safer and cleaner than openly burning it. Green waste does not include weeds, cholla cactus, sod, root balls, stumps, lumber, treated wood, dirt, rocks, or construction materials. 

Free green waste days encourage residents to reduce fuels on their property and reduce the need for burning. Clearing brush from around the home perimeter helps create a buffer zone to slow or halt the spread of wildland fire from affecting the home. Unmanaged vegetation between and around homes increases the risk of wildfire spreading throughout the community and endangering lives and property.

Read Santa Fe County’s online guide about how to prepare the zones around your home and structures to reduce this risk.

Take advantage of free green waste days and create defensible space to help protect your home from wildfire risks.

Participating Convenience Centers:

  • Stanley, 2 CO14 A, Santa Fe, 87056, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

  • Jacona, 1696 NM502, Santa Fe, 87506, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

  • Eldorado, 28736 US 285, Santa Fe, 87508, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

    • As a reminder, the tipping floor that is used to collect waste at the Eldorado Convenience Center, will be closed for resurfacing beginning June 15 until the project is completed. An alternate location will be available to dispose of waste onsite, and all materials will need to be unloaded by hand.

Free green waste disposal dates:

  • June 12 and 13

  • July 10 and 11

  • August 7 and 8

  • September 4 and 5

Native Plant Society of New Mexico, Santa Fe Chapter Lecture: Fire Ecology and Management in the Santa Fe Fireshed
Feb
10
6:30 PM18:30

Native Plant Society of New Mexico, Santa Fe Chapter Lecture: Fire Ecology and Management in the Santa Fe Fireshed

Join the Santa Fe Chapter of the Native Plant Society of New Mexico for their monthly meeting and the following lecture (meetings and talks are free and open to all):

Title: A success story: Fire ecology and management in the Santa Fe Fireshed

Speaker: Ellis Margolis, Research Ecologist at USGS New Mexico Landscapes Field Station

Date and Location: 6:30pm Feb. 10 at Christ Lutheran Church (1701 Arroyo Chamiso Rd)

Summary: Increasingly large and severe wildfires are threatening forests, water supplies, and communities across the western United States. Restoring the low severity fires of the past, which are recorded in tree rings, can increase the resilience of forested watersheds. The prescribed fire program in the Santa Fe Watershed is arguably one of the most successful in the West. The pre-1880 fire regime has been restored in a large part of the watershed, reducing the threat of severe wildfire and post-fire debris flows. More work is needed in the Greater Santa Fe Fireshed, but this success should be recognized and built upon.

About the Speaker: Ellis Margolis is a research ecologist at the USGS New Mexico Landscapes Field Station, based in Santa Fe. He uses tree rings to understand the interactions between fire, forests, human land use, and climate variability. His experience in fire adapted ecosystems in the Pine Barrens of New York and the longleaf pine forests of Florida inspired his research in fire ecology.
