About this transfer station

Los Cordovas Transfer Station is a publicly owned transfer station in Ranchos de Taos, Taos County, New Mexico. It is operated by Taos County. At a transfer station you drop off your trash and bulky items; the waste is then consolidated and trucked to a landfill. Transfer stations are usually closer to town than a landfill and are often the easier place to unload a pickup or trailer.

Before you haul a load here

  • Secure and cover your load. Most facilities charge extra or turn away untarped loads.
  • Separate items. Keep tires, appliances, mattresses, electronics and yard waste apart from household trash — they're usually charged or unloaded separately.
  • Bring ID and payment. Many public sites check residency, and some take cash or check only.
  • Leave hazardous waste at home. Paint, chemicals, batteries, propane tanks and motor oil go to household hazardous waste drop-offs, not the regular tipping floor.
