Sanitary Landfill

The City of Sioux Falls recently launched a region wide campaign to standardize recycling education throughout the community. The goal of the campaign is to encourage community members to recycle properly in order to combat the amount of contamination we see in the single stream.

Household electronics, especially those used for entertainment and communication antiquate quickly. The HHW Facility provides a way for residents in our five county service area to properly dispose of outdated and broken electronics, including batteries. Please make sure the materials you wish to drop-off are accepted at the HHW Facility. Please remember to bring your driver’s license or another form of identification.

Electronics Recycling Services

Mattresses take up valuable space in the landfill and do not compact well. Mattresses are sent to a local recycler in Sioux Falls for recycling. They will be recycled and used in various new products.

To offset the recycling charge the Sioux Falls Regional Landfill now charges for each mattress and box spring brought to the landfill at $9.00 each.
