Coupons for a free roll of 30 clear plastic recycling bags were mailed to Albuquerque residents in water/ refuse bills in August 2006. The coupon was included as an insert in your water/refuse bill. Let us know if you fail to receive a coupon with your August water bill .

Coupons are redeemable at the Solid Waste Management Department's Administrative Offices at 4600 Edith NE, at senior centers, and at a number of retail outlets throughout the city. Recycling bags can also be purchased year-round for $5.25 per roll of 30 bags at several of these and other locations (listed below).

Black plastic refuse (trash) bags in boxes of 50 can be purchased for $9.70 at three City of Albuquerque locations. See below for a complete list of locations for both refuse and recycling bags. If you plan to pick up bags at a location other than the Solid Waste Management Department office or the Bag Center, we recommend telephoning the vendor first to ensure a current stock of bags.
