recycle contact Keep Rio Rancho Beautiful at 891-5015.
Drop-Off Recycling and Curbside Recycling

892-1200.
Recyclables accepted curbside and drop-off include:
• Newspaper
• Magazines
• Office paper, junk mail, white paper
• Phone books
• Brown paper bags
• Plastics # 1-7
• Cardboard (flattened and broken down) and
paperboard (cereal boxes)
• Aluminum and Aluminum foil
• Steel can and empty aerosol cans
• No glass, styrofoam or packing materials
Rio Rancho Recycles!
Fact: Recycling a stack of newspapers just 3 feet high saves one tree.
Fact: Recycling a single aluminum can saves enough energy to power a TV for 3 hours.
Fact: Recycling 5 plastic soda bottles yields enough fiber for one extra large t-shirt.
Keep Recycling Clean!
Having great participation really makes our program work, what also makes our program work is recycling the
correct materials, thereby reducing contamination. Contamination increases the financial and environmental costs of
recycling. Some helpful hints are:
•
Recyclables that are placed inside plastic bags are difficult to process.
•
Styrofoam and other packing materials are NOT recyclable in Rio Rancho.
•
Glass is NOT accepted in Rio Rancho for recycling.

How to Watch a Good Program Die
Nothing kills a recreation program faster than residents who wait until the last minute to register. There is a point
when a program must be cancelled or modified if there is insufficient registration. All programs require a high level
of coordination often including facility scheduling, staffing, volunteer recruitment, and purchasing of supplies.
Photo Policy
Participants permit the taking of photos and videos of themselves and their children during Parks, Recreation and
Community Services activities, programs, and special events for publication and use, as the Department deems
necessary.
Volunteers
Many of our programs depend on volunteer help. If you wish to put your expertise to use in a program or would like
to find out what volunteer opportunities are available, please call us at 891-5015.
Sponsorship
Parks, Recreation and Community Services has many opportunities for sponsorships. We offer only first-class,
quality programs, and special events. If you are interested in how we can help you reach your customers and
promote your business, contact Connie Peterson at 891-5015.

EnhanceFitness
MSC has been chosen as one of the inaugural sites for the EnhanceFitness program, an exercise
program that emphasizes strength training, flexibility, and cardiovascular conditioning.
Preliminary and ongoing fitness checks are essential to the program. Workouts are individually
tailored and individuals can keep track of their progress as they work at their own pace. All
instructors are certified fitness leaders.
Fall Assessment Clinics
In partnership with HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital, MSC sponsors free screenings by
specially trained Physical Therapists to assess your risk of falling. Falls can lead to many
different medical problems, including hip fractures and brain injuries, and these can cause a loss
of independence.
Wii
Try this unique video game that combines exercise and fun. Working alone or in groups, you
can bowl, play golf or engage in a variety of other sports by using a wireless controller that
translates your motions onto a television screen. Even if you cannot stand, you can still play.
Visit the MSC and experience this newest health craze.

rated based on degree of difficulty and generally there is a hike that will appeal to most levels of
fitness. Hiking is a great way to improve health while enjoying the outdoors.
