Skip the trip: When you rent a dumpster from us, we handle the SCSWA haul-off on your behalf. You get the certified scale ticket on your invoice — without making the trip yourself. Call (575) 319-8484 Mon–Sat 7am–6pm.
For large projects — full estate cleanouts, roofing jobs, multi-room remodels — a roll-off dumpster rental is almost always more cost-effective than multiple self-haul trips to the SCSWA Transfer Station. Comparison: a 20-yard dumpster at $215–$325 handles the equivalent of 3–5 loaded pickup truck trips to SCSWA. You save the fuel, time, gate fees, and multiple loading sessions. One delivery, one pickup, one invoice — price confirmed before the truck leaves.
For Dona Ana County residents outside Las Cruces city limits, convenience punch cards ($15–$60) are available from the Dona Ana County Government Center at 845 N. Motel Blvd. These cards provide access to county convenience drop-off stations throughout the county — check county.donaanacounty.org for current station locations and hours.
