• Mar 13, 2021 Las Cruces Utilities (LCU) Solid Waste Laborer Ariana Alvarado likes to work with her hands. She was happy to get a temporary 20-hour per week position at LCU back in June 2020.
Previously, Alvarado worked at an oil change shop and had used some of the same experience to maintain the trucks in Solid Waste, the trucks residents see on their streets. As a temporary employee she lubed the forks and arms on residential and commercial route trucks and checked tire pressures.
Alvarado is the first female hired on the operations side of Solid Waste – we hope she will inspire other females to apply – and has been in her full-time 40-hour-a-week position for three weeks. This week, Alvarado has been welding the bottom of a broken dumpster. She had some basic welding skills and has been working on improving upon those skills.

• Mar 6, 2021 Residents may be interested in getting back in their gardens, and composted mulch from Las Cruces Utilities (LCU) is again available, free for pickup, at the LCU Foothills Landfill Composting Facility at 555 S. Sonoma Ranch Blvd.
“The free composted mulch is part of the circular economy of yard waste that we have in Las Cruces. We process the yard waste that residents dispose of in clear bags and leave out for the Green Grappler and turn it into something they can reuse in the future,” Robin Lawrence, LCU deputy director Solid Waste, said.
As part of LCU residential Solid Waste service, the Green Grappler can pick up an amount equal to two level half ton pick-up truck loads or 4 cubic yards, which is equivalent to four 5’x3’x2’ adjacent piles. Larger loads may be scheduled for pick up for an additional charge and can be arranged by calling Customer Central at 575-541-2111.
