Heavy rain from what’s left of Hurricane Polo is causing problems beyond flooded streets and soggy yards in Bernalillo County. Waste Management has paused residential trash collection after severe weather closed a landfill the company uses.
Bernalillo County said Waste Management notified the county that the landfill is temporarily closed because of the severe weather. Residential curbside trash collection is on hold until the landfill reopens.
The county urged residents to leave carts at the curb. Waste Management will resume collection once weather conditions improve and the landfill reopens. Residents can find more updates through Waste Management.
