Vermillion Landfill - Recycling Center in Vermillion, SD

In 1976, a landfill site was established on Bluff Road in Clay County and the City of Vermillion, with a new expansion site opening in 1991-1992 east of the original location. The new site meets Sub-title D federal state regulations and is approved by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), with annual inspections conducted by the SD DENR. The landfill, compliant with South Dakota rules and regulations, is expected to operate until around 2080. Notably, the landfill employs waste baling techniques to contain debris and enhance safety. Accepted materials include appliances, electronics, municipal waste, scrap metals, tires, and wood, among others. The facility also handles petroleum-contaminated soils and asbestos in compliance with EPA and SDDANR regulations. Visitors can access resource documents such as the Landfill Credit Application and Landfill sheet PDFs, while also finding information on jobs, permits, and the code of ordinances related to the landfill.
