Hidalgo County posts trash transfer hours, resumes detention visitation
Families can visit detainees again in Lordsburg, while trash haulers get fixed transfer-station hours, including Saturday service and summer Sunday hours.
Families trying to see someone at the Hidalgo County Detention Center and residents planning a trash run now have two county updates that can prevent a wasted drive. Hidalgo County says inmate visitation has resumed, and the county’s transfer station in Lordsburg is open on a posted schedule that includes weekday hours, Saturday service, and summer Sunday access.
The Hidalgo County Transfer Station is listed at 150 Water Tank Rd., Lordsburg, NM 88045. Regular hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The county also lists summer hours for May through August, with Sunday service from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Other county transfer stations are posted in Animas, Rodeo, Cotton City and Virden, each with separate hours.
The county’s transfer-station page, which names Aaron De La Garza as solid waste supervisor, also spells out what residents need to do before hauling waste: garbage must be bagged, cardboard boxes broken down and scrap metal cut to fit in the trailer. That kind of detail matters for people making a single trip from outlying parts of Hidalgo County, where a return drive to Lordsburg can take time.
On the detention side, Hidalgo County says visitation has resumed and directs visitors to schedule through Securus Technologies. The detention center is at 83 Old U.S. 70, Lordsburg, NM 88045, and the page identifies Horacio Zambrano as detention administrator. The county sheriff’s office, led by Sheriff William Chadborn, is listed at 720 E. 2nd Street, Lordsburg, NM 88045, a reminder that detention access, law enforcement business and inmate-related logistics are all tied closely to offices in town.
The county’s broader service hours show how much daily business now depends on planning ahead. Courthouse offices are open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The county manager’s office is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the sheriff’s office is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Fridays from 8 a.m. to noon. Driving tests and fingerprint processing can be requested by appointment.
County contact information also points residents to 305 Pyramid Street, Lordsburg, NM 88045, and to the central county phone line at (575) 542-9428. For Hidalgo County residents, the practical message is simple: detention visits are back, trash drop-offs have firm hours, and the county is steering people toward the right office or online scheduling system before they make the trip.
