What that means for you
The County describes these drives as private, unpaved and sometimes steep. That plan dates from 2009, but it is the County's own description. Before we set a time, we will ask how wide your drive is, whether a box truck can turn around at the top, and how far the crew would carry if it cannot.
If the truck has to stop at the road, we can still do the job, but the carry gets longer and we need to know that up front. The Village of Placitas has much smaller lots, so a job there can be simpler.
Questions from Placitas

Tell us the width, the grade and whether it can turn around. If not, we will plan a longer carry from the road.
Which landfill should I use?
Sandoval County Landfill on Iris Road publishes $12.50 per mattress.
