Thanks to our friends at
The Sandoval Signpost
for running Placitas Recycling Center news. Please read the Signpost at sandovalsignpost.com

Our Mission

is to provide a local recycling center that allows everyone a place to recycle marketable resources.

Our History

Thanks to the personal efforts of Jimi Gadzia, our recycling center started in 1991 and has now grown to serve a large community of recyclers of all ages. While many of our supporters come from Placitas, others come from Bernalillo, El Llanito, Santa Ana Pueblo, Algodones and Rio Rancho. We want to thank everyone for making this effort an ongoing success!

Volunteers

We always can use volunteers. If you are interested, please call or e-mail Max Pruneda at 877-7745 or prunedastudio@comcast.net

Board Meetings

The Placitas Recycling Association Board of Directors meets quarterly on the last Wednesday in January, April, July, and October. Members of the public are welcome to attend. Specific dates, times, and location will be published in the Sandoval Signpost Community Calendar.

We have greatly expanded our list of recyclable items. Click here to see the list of what we can and cannot accept.
