Our Promise to You…

SFSWMA is committed to be an innovative, responsive, and integrated solid waste organization that provides a safe, cost-efficient and environmentally-sound management of solid waste generated for its customers in Santa Fe County while educating the public in the importance of waste diversion programs including waste reduction, recycling, composting, and special waste.

Caja del Rio Cell 5B

The Caja Del Rio Landfill continues to fill its latest solid waste disposal cell, Cell 5B. More Info

New Cell Construction

It is anticipated that Cell 5B will be used for waste disposal activities until 2020. However, design and construction Cell 6B will likely begin in 2019 or early 2020. No blasting is anticipated in conjunction with the construction activities. This timeline allows for necessary approvals to be in place prior to use by the Agency for disposal activities. It is anticipated that Cell 6B will last approximately 5-7 years before the Agency builds out the vertical expansion approved in the 2015 New Mexico Environment Department Solid Waste Bureau operations permit. The total life of the vertical expansion is approximately 10 years.
