Recycling in Santa Fe

   

As part of running a small 'green' business in Santa Fe, New Mexico I struggle with recycling. Although the City of Santa Fe has a very good recycling program, it is incomplete. Simple things are not recycled by the city, but are recycleable (e.g. #5 plastic food containers, packing peanuts). Some items are recycled by local companies in their effort to be green and others just do it to save money.

For me, I dont care why, I just want a list I could go to to find local recycling places for items the city does not include in their program. In response to this need, I started this webpage and associated blog to get moving in that direction. I hope it helps you.

If you know of things not on the list below, please leave me a comment or suggestion.

I am not a recycling expert, but if you submit a question I will try to get it answered by our readers or from someone from the City, please leave me a comment or suggestion.

If you want to be kept up to date on recycling changes and locations, just subscribe to this page and you will get an email every time I update the page.

Thank you all for helping Keep Santa Fe Beautiful.
