After a three-year pause, Taos County has relaunched its recycling program. It. will offer northern New Mexico residents a local option for recycling while eliminating the need to travel to recycle. Edward Martinez, the county\u2019s Solid Waste Director, spoke on the importance of the program\u2019s return. \u201cIt\u2019s a big deal because so much waste going to the landfill, a lot of plastics, and a lot of aluminum, and cardboard, and a lot of stuff that could be recycled to bring in some revenue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The program was previously halted due to budget limitations, but with new state-funded balers through RAID grants, it\u2019s back on track. The balers compact materials like cardboard into one-ton bales, producing 30 to 40 each month. Residents are encouraged to bring recyclables to any of the county\u2019s eight transfer stations, where they sort the materials themselves to simplify the process. The county boasts a low contamination rate, which increases the value of recycled materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do recycle aluminum, cardboard, you know, corrugated cardboard, tin, metal, tires, and one of my stations, we do brush,\u201d Martinez explained. This effort not only brings in revenue but also extends the life of local landfills, reducing the need to send waste to other counties.<\/p>\n
