What El Paso County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across El Paso and its neighbors.
- El Paso County's only county-run disposal offer is a seasonal series of free Community Cleanup events, and its FY2026 dates have all passed. The Public Works page says the county 'will be hosting it's free Community Cleanup events for the 2026 calendar year. Each event is intended to collect and dispose of household waste, passenger tires, bulk trash, electronic waste and recyclable materials.' The FY2026 calendar's header reads 'Cleanup services will be available to County residents on a first-come, first-served basis from 8:00-12:00pm or until the designated capacity has been reached.' That eligibility is county-wide, so a resident of Socorro, Horizon City or San Elizario is a County resident and qualifies. The calendar lists seven sites, each open on named Saturdays between April and August 2026: East Montana, 14698 Van Lane, El Paso, TX 79938 (April 11, May 16, July 18, August 15); Hueco Tanks, 6898 Pony Express, El Paso, TX 79928 (June 6); Canutillo Warehouse, 1001 Vinton Ave, Canutillo, TX 79835 (May 16, July 18); Westway, 1002 Tiffany Rd., Canutillo, TX 79835 (April 18, June 13, August 15); Fabens Yard, 199 Citizen Transfer Station Rd., Fabens, TX 79838 (April 11, June 13, July 25); El Rosio Yard, 15311 El Rosio, El Paso, TX 79928 (April 18, June 6); and Tornillo, 695 Henderson Rd., Tornillo, Texas 79853 (July 25). Under 'FREE DISPOSAL OF:' the bulk heading reads 'BULK TRASH & ELECTRONIC WASTE — Only one pick-up truck load per residence will be collected. Space is limited. Items may include: furniture, chairs, carpet, etc.' A mattress, box spring or bedding is named nowhere on the flyer, in that list or in any refusal. Tires are capped at 5 per resident and 1000 per event, passenger tires 17 inches or smaller only; CRT monitors and televisions are refused. The contact given is (915) 273-3330. Source Not confirmed: The FY2026 flyer never names a mattress, box spring or bedding. 'Items may include: furniture, chairs, carpet, etc.' is an open-ended example list, not a statement that bedding is accepted, and a mattress missing from it is not permission. No mattress drop-off has been modeled on this event series. Not confirmed: Every FY2026 date on the calendar falls between April 11 and August 15, 2026 and has passed as of November 7, 2026. The county had published no FY2027 calendar at the time of checking, so there is no event a reader can attend today. Not confirmed: The flyer publishes no fee for anything other than 'FREE DISPOSAL OF', so whether an over-capacity or second load is charged is not established.
- El Paso County operates no standing solid waste facility and publishes no solid waste department. The county's full site map at epcounty.com contains no page whose title or link contains 'waste', 'trash', 'landfill', 'recycling' or 'cleanup' — the only two 'waste' matches are 'Report Fraud, Waste, & Abuse' and a 'Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Program'. The Public Works page lists the department's divisions and core services as 'Public Works, El Paso County Infrastructure, On-Site Sewage/Environmental Services, East Montana Water System, Road and Bridge, Parks, Facilities Department' — solid waste is not among them, and the On-Site Sewage/Environmental Services program concerns septic systems. The county yards named on the cleanup calendar (Fabens Yard, El Rosio Yard, the Canutillo Warehouse) are road-and-bridge yards used as event sites, not standing transfer stations, and the county publishes no hours, gate rate or accepted-items list for any of them. In this county solid waste service is municipal or by utility district: the City of El Paso runs its own collection and stations, and Socorro, San Elizario and the surrounding unincorporated Lower Valley are served by the Lower Valley Water District, which is a separate political subdivision and not the county. Source Not confirmed: Whether the Fabens Yard at 199 Citizen Transfer Station Rd. is also a registered citizens' collection station open outside cleanup event days could not be established: the road name suggests a station, but El Paso County publishes no page for it and no hours, fee or accepted-items list. Not confirmed: The Lower Valley Water District's own solid waste terms were not researched here — it is a utility district serving Socorro, San Elizario, Fabens and nearby unincorporated areas, and belongs to the city pass for those towns, not to the county layer.
- Not an option: The five Citizen Collection Stations in El Paso County are the City of El Paso's, and their eligibility shuts out the three other incorporated cities on this county's list. The city's collection stations page states that 'El Paso residents (no commercial businesses or contractors) can dispose of trash' at the stations, and that every visitor, active-duty military and veterans included, must present 'A current water bill, and' 'A valid ID with an address matching the water bill.' The water bill is an El Paso Water bill for a City of El Paso address, so a resident of Socorro, Horizon City or San Elizario — each a separate incorporated city, not part of the City of El Paso — cannot satisfy it. Socorro and San Elizario are billed by the Lower Valley Water District, and Horizon City by its own utility. The five stations are Northeast, 9171 Stahala Dr; Central, 2492 Harrison Ave; Westside, 121 Atlantic Rd; Mission Valley, 1034 Pendale Rd; and Eastside, 3500-3516 Confederate Dr, all in El Paso, open Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., four visits per resident per month, no construction or demolition material. These five facilities and their services are already in the store as pl-tx-elpaso-* and each already carries a service_areas row of scope place for place:4824000, which confines them to City of El Paso pages; nothing in this batch widens them. Source Not confirmed: The stations page names bulky items as an accepted category but does not itemize a mattress or box spring, so even for a City of El Paso resident the mattress policy at these stations is not published. Not confirmed: The Greater El Paso Landfill at 2600 Darrington Rd, Clint, TX 79928, open Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., is the City of El Paso's own landfill. Its page publishes no gate rate card and names no mattress, box spring or bedding as accepted, refused or priced, and it does not state whether a non-City resident may deliver a household load. No service has been modeled on it.

What to check before you go
- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
