Residential Trash

City of Las Cruces - Solid Waste (575) 528-3700

The City of Las Cruces provides containers to customers who are signed up for Solid Waste Services.  This system uses a one-person collection vechicle to empty trash bins in your area once a week, on a designated pick-up day.  The City provides the 96-gallon container. 

What should you do with large bulk waste or tree branches that don't fit into the container? 

Every two weeks bulky waste too big for your container is picked up by the GRAPPLER service. Loose material and yard waste must be bagged and tied in heavy duty garbage bags left at the curb.

An amount equal to one level half-ton pick up truck load will be picked up free of charge on your pick up day. Larger loads will be charged based on the amount of trash picked up.
