Leaf and Branch Drop-Off Site Opens Saturday

Update (May 31, 2023): The leaf and branch drop-off site is closed for the season.

On Saturday, April 15, 2023, the City of Sioux Falls will open a leaf and branch drop-off site to assist with spring cleanup. The drop-off site is located at North Lyon Boulevard, just south of the fairgrounds. Access is available from West 12th Street to North Lyon Boulevard or from West Madison Street to North Lyon Boulevard.

On Saturday, April 15, the site will begin accepting leaves and branches. Hours of operation will be 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day. The drop-off site will be open through Sunday, May 28.

The cost is free for cars, pickups, full-size SUVs, vans, or two-wheel trailers. Lawn service companies and commercial businesses will not be accepted at the temporary drop-off site and must go directly to the Sioux Falls Regional Sanitary Landfill.

Branches must be placed in a pile separate from leaves. Leaves must be removed from plastic bags. All loads must be tarped or in an enclosed vehicle. Plastic bags, stumps, rubble, and household garbage are not accepted.

The leaves deposited at the drop-off site are composted at the landfill through the yard waste program. Compost is available for free for residents to pick up at the landfill year-round.

The City appreciates the efforts put in by individuals and businesses to keep Sioux Falls clean and beautiful.

General information regarding the Landfill, including hours of operation, rates, and materials accepted, is located at www.siouxfalls.org/landfill or call 605-367-8162.
