The Environmental Services Division provides solid waste and recycling services to Los Alamos County residents, and coordinates the newly formed Environmental Sustainability Initiative. The name of this division was changed from Solid Waste to Environmental Services in June 2008 to mirror the division’s new responsibility of spearheading the counties sustainability initiative. With this new responsibility also came a new facility with the opening of the Eco Station in March 2009, a LEED certified green building. The Eco Station consists of the solid waste transfer station and is located at the old Landfill.

Holiday Waste Collection: The Environmental Services Division will no longer collect trash or recycling on all County observed holidays (New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and the day after, and Christmas Day). If one of these holidays falls on your normal trash day, you should put your trash out the Wednesday of that same week. For example, if the holiday falls on a Monday and that is your normal trash day you should instead put your trash out two days later on Wednesday. Or, if the holiday falls on a Friday and that is your normal trash day you should instead put your trash out two days prior to the holiday on Wednesday. (more info).
