How pickup works
| Type | Request 24 hours before trash day |
| Schedule | Request online or call 311 (505-768-2000) at least 24 hours before your next trash day. Requests made inside that window may be handled case by case. Collection is on your next normal trash day. |
| Limits | No more than a standard pickup-load may be collected. Up to 4 tires. |
| Cost | The official Large Item Pick-Up page does not list a separate fee. |
| Who is eligible | City of Albuquerque solid-waste customers. |
| How to set items out | On the curb, 5 feet from other carts, mailboxes, fire hydrants, parked cars, low-hanging trees or utility poles, so trucks can reach them. |
