Curbside Trash Service

Since October 2012, SCSWA has provided solid waste curbside service to residents who reside within the city limits of Sunland Park, NM. Residents are provided with trash carts and are serviced at least once a week.

How to Prepare for Curbside Cart Service

Residents should ensure that their carts are placed out for servicing by 6 am on their scheduled pick-up days.
Place carts at the curb or within 3 feet of the driving surface, road or lane with the opening facing the street or alley.

All residential garbage MUST be bagged and tied before placing in a container which includes household waste, wet or moist waste like food, food containers, green fresh yard waste, pet waste, or disposable diapers.
Avoid "overflow", placing more in your solid waste container than what actually fits inside of it.
