How we work in New Mexico
Local haulers do the work; we hold the contract, own the problems, and send one bill. One agreement can hold roll-off dumpsters, portable toilets, and restroom trailers for every New Mexico site. If you’re weighing us against a single hauler, here’s how a broker, a hauler, and our provider network differ.

The network
The network in New Mexico
At New Mexico job sites, October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026 · Published figure
Figures are counts of completed deliveries, providers, and accounts in this window from our records, as of October 2026. Roll-off deliveries are containers delivered. Portable toilet deliveries are units placed, not orders. A company that completed both services is counted in both service rows, so those rows are not a split of the provider total. The counts are not a promise that every address is covered. Front-load service, compactors, and balers are not in these counts.
State rules
New Mexico rules a buyer should know
What follows is a buyer’s summary of the New Mexico rules that change the buy. It is not legal advice, so check the current text and the site’s local ordinance before you rely on it.
Where construction debris can go
New Mexico’s solid waste rule, 20.9.2 NMAC, defines a construction and demolition landfill as one that takes only construction and demolition debris, at a monthly average of 50 tons a day or less. A landfill taking more than that in any month is treated as a municipal landfill. Confirm acceptance with the facility before the haul.
Where portable toilet waste goes
New Mexico’s liquid waste rule, 20.7.3 NMAC, allows direct collection of portable toilet waste in holding tanks for disposal under its septage standard. That standard says septage goes only to a permitted facility, with the facility owner’s knowledge and consent, and septage pumpers keep customer invoices and disposal records for three years and show them to the Environment Department on written request. Crew counts are on the OSHA portable toilet requirements guide.
A container on a public street
Albuquerque’s dumpster and storage pod application goes to the Department of Municipal Development at least 5 business days before the start date. Lighted barricades go at the front and rear of the dumpster, and extensions of up to 30 days are requested by email with the permit number. The city’s right-of-way permit applications page lists the dumpster permit with its other right-of-way permits. Other New Mexico cities set their own rules.

Can my New Mexico sites share one agreement and one invoice?
Yes. Every New Mexico address can sit on the same agreement, whatever mix of roll-offs, portable toilets, and restroom trailers it needs. Approved accounts can be offered Net 30, 60, or 90, subject to credit review. Nothing on this page is an offer of credit. See the terms of use.
