City resists fining residents for costly, sloppy trash handling
Rather than raise trash rates, Waste Management of New Mexico trash collection service has proposed fining customers who put trash in their recycling bins or overfill their trash cans, but most Rio Rancho Governing Body members said the rules were too vague and would cause too many complaints.
On a 5-1 vote during their meeting Thursday night, Rio Rancho Governing Body members opposed changes to the city’s contract with Waste Management. They directed the company and city staff to clarify language and bring back the amendments at their June 10 meeting.

Grass Valley resident Larik Butyrin said he’s fed up with Waste Management.
According to Butyrin, he’s complained to anyone who will listen about everything from the bin design to lack of recycling centers. Now, new changes that have Smart Trucks photograph bins and notify customers about overfills or contamination are the last straw.
”Their name is Waste Management. It’s their job to manage the waste, not ours,“ Butyrin said of the new rules he believes put too much onus on customers.
According to Waste Management spokesperson Paul Rosynsky, the company’s new policy will be cracking down on plastic bags in recycling bins, though polysterene foam, food scraps and other products are also prohibited
