Recycling Guide
Road Runner Waste Service is proud to serve local businesses as their dedicated recycling partner in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico, and surrounding areas. We care about a cleaner environment and are increasing our efforts to make recycling in your area easier and more convenient.
How Does Recycling Work?
We collect full recycle dumpsters at curbsides, multi-family dwellings, or businesses. At recycling facilities (MRFs), materials are sorted, cleaned, compressed, and prepared for sale to end markets.
Clean every item
Clean items are crucial to avoid contamination during transportation to recycling facilities.
Waste Collection
When recycle dumpsters are full, they are then collected by Road Runner Waste Service at a curbside, multi-family dwelling, or business.
