Recycling in Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Sioux Falls does not run its own trash trucks. City ordinance requires every resident, owner, or property manager to hire one of the locally licensed private haulers for both garbage and recycling, and those haulers are required to provide a recycling bin at each home. The city runs a single stream system, so bottles, cans, paper, and boxes all go loose into one bin, and the Sioux Falls Regional Landfill plus the Household Hazardous Waste Facility handle everything curbside pickup will not take.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is recycling mandatory in Sioux Falls?
Yes, in practice. City of Sioux Falls Ordinance Chapter 57 makes each occupant, owner, or manager responsible for hiring a licensed waste hauling company to provide both garbage and recycling collection service, and haulers must supply a recycling bin at every residential property. There is no single city-run truck, instead residents choose from a list of locally licensed private haulers such as Waste Management of Sioux Falls, Novak Sanitary, or Dakota Disposal.
What can I put in my Sioux Falls recycling bin?
Paper and cardboard, plastic bottles, tubs, and jugs (5 gallons or smaller), metal cans including aluminum foil rolled into a ball, and glass jars and bottles all go loose in the same bin, no need to sort. Not accepted: plastic bags of any kind, foam or plastic cups, clamshell containers, batteries, hoses, coat hangers, clothing, diapers, medical waste, scrap metal, car parts, pots and pans, or yard waste. Recyclables should never be bagged, since bagged material can jam sorting equipment at the processing facility.
Does Sioux Falls recycle glass?
Yes. Glass food and beverage jars and bottles, including baby food jars and olive oil bottles, are accepted right in the curbside single stream bin along with everything else. Lids and caps can stay on.
Where do I take electronics, batteries, and household chemicals in Sioux Falls?
The Sioux Falls Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1015 East Chambers Street takes electronics, batteries, paint, motor oil, pesticides, and similar hazardous items for free, but only for residents of Lake, Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha, and Turner counties. Electronics have drop-off limits of 5 CPUs, 5 monitors, 5 televisions, and 2 microwaves per calendar year, and none of this is accepted at the regular landfill. The facility is open Tuesday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon, closed Sundays and Mondays.
Can I recycle scrap metal or get a deposit refund on bottles in South Dakota?
South Dakota has no bottle or can deposit law, so there is no refund for beverage containers here, unlike the roughly ten states that do have bottle bills. Scrap metal and appliances are not accepted in curbside recycling bins, but the Sioux Falls Regional Landfill accepts appliances and scrap metal at its metro area location for a fee, and local scrap yards buy metal directly.
Sioux Falls Recycling Tips
- •Keep recyclables loose in the bin, never bagged, since plastic bags jam the sorting equipment at the processing facility and are the top contaminant haulers deal with.
- •On Sioux Falls' frequent high-wind days, stack flattened cardboard flat inside the bin under the lid or use a bungee cord to keep the lid shut so recycling does not blow down the street before collection.
- •Set bins at the curb by 6 a.m. on your scheduled day, since late set-outs can throw off the whole route for your neighborhood.
- •Rinse out anything that held sticky food like peanut butter or mayonnaise, but a quick rinse is not required for most bottles and cans as long as they are empty.
- •Electronics, batteries, and light bulbs never go in the curbside bin. Save them for a trip to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility on East Chambers Street, which also has a free reuse room where residents can pick up to three household or automotive chemical items a week.
