Dumpster Rental in Alamogordo, New Mexico

Alamogordo requires a permit from the city if you plan to place a roll-off container on a public street or right-of-way. Contact the City of Alamogordo Planning & Zoning Department at 575-439-4220 (1376 E Ninth Street) before scheduling delivery to a street location. Turnaround is usually quick, but it's worth calling a day or two ahead.

If the dumpster lands on your driveway or private property, no city permit is required — most residential Alamogordo rentals work this way. HOA communities along Scenic Drive and the northeast residential corridors may have their own placement rules, so check with your association if applicable.

Based on recent local project data, dumpster rental in Alamogordo typically costs:

• 10-yard container: ~$300 — ideal for single-room cleanouts, garage purges, or small yard waste jobs
• 20-yard container: ~$420 — the most popular size for home renovations, roofing, and medium cleanouts
• 30-yard container: ~$500 — right for large remodels, full-home cleanouts, or C&D debris from multi-room projects
• 40-yard container: $520+ — commercial construction, major demolition, estate cleanouts

Most Alamogordo providers include delivery, a standard rental period (typically 7–10 days), pickup, and disposal in a flat rate. Overage fees run $50–$100 per ton beyond the included weight limit. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, and old roofing shingles add up fast — ask your provider about weight caps before loading.

Waste from Alamogordo dumpster rentals goes to one of two facilities managed by the city:

Otero-Greentree Regional Landfill — Located at 4276 US Highway 54, this county-city jointly owned landfill handles 100% of the city's municipal solid waste. It's open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (gates close at 3:30 p.m.), and has capacity for the long term — designed for a 99-year lifespan when it opened in 1994. Special waste fees at the gate: tires run $93.94/ton, asbestos $41.82/cubic yard. The landfill closes during sustained winds over 30 mph — a real consideration in the desert basin.

Collection Center Transfer Station — At 224 LaVelle Road (575-439-4109), this self-haul convenience center accepts household refuse, C&D debris, yard waste, scrap metal, appliances, and electronics. They also accept motor oil, antifreeze, and batteries for proper disposal. Free mulch is available to the public when supply allows.

Your dumpster rental provider handles all transportation to these facilities — you don't need to coordinate directly with either site.

Most common residential and construction debris is accepted in roll-off containers rented in Alamogordo:

• Furniture, mattresses, and household items
• Appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers — must be drained of fluids)
• Drywall, insulation, and flooring
• Roofing shingles and underlayment
• Wood, lumber, and trim
• Concrete, block, and brick (weight limits apply — confirm with your provider)
• Yard waste, tree branches, and soil
• General junk and cleanout debris

Items not accepted in dumpsters under New Mexico NMED rules and city code include: hazardous chemicals, liquid paint (must be fully dried/solidified with cat litter or dirt first), tires, car batteries, electronics, medical waste, and animal remains. Attempting to dispose of prohibited items can result in extra charges or the load being rejected at the landfill.
