Recycling is mandatory at Santa Fe County solid waste convenience centers. Want to learn more about recycling right? Recycling saves convenience center users $50 per ton, helps the environment, and keeps taxes down. Any convenience center user placing accepted recyclable material in trash bins may be issued a warning and/or issued a citation. The criminal penalty for violating the mandatory recycling ordinance is a fine of at least $25 for the first offense, $50-$100 for the second offense, and $75-$200 for the third offense.
