South Dakota dump FAQ
How many landfills are in South Dakota?
Dumpmapper lists 16 landfills in South Dakota, in 15 of its 66 counties. The list comes from OpenStreetMap and the US EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program database, so it can miss sites, especially private or construction-debris landfills.
Where can I take household hazardous waste in South Dakota?
We don't have a household hazardous waste drop-off listed in South Dakota yet. Many counties hold collection days a few times a year, so check with your county's solid waste or public works office. Our household hazardous waste guide explains what to expect.
Do dumps in South Dakota charge a fee?
Many do, and each site sets its own prices. Charges often depend on weight, load size or the type of item, and tires, mattresses and appliances commonly cost extra. We don't publish prices we can't verify, so ask the site before you go. The dump cost calculator can help you estimate a load.
Can I use a dump in South Dakota if I'm not a resident?
It depends on the site. Some city- and county-run sites serve residents only or charge non-residents more, while many privately run landfills and transfer stations take anyone who pays. Check the site's rules before you go, and bring an ID or a utility bill in case they ask for proof of address.
How do I find the phone number or hours for a dump in South Dakota?
1 of the 19 listings in South Dakota has a phone number or website in our sources. We show it on the map popup, the county page and the listing page, and you can tap a phone number to call. For listings without one, use the Find phone & hours link: it opens a web search for the site's name and town. If you find the phone number or hours, send them to us and we'll add them after checking.
Which counties in South Dakota have the most dump and drop-off listings?
Yankton County (2), Brookings County (1), and Brown County (1) have the most listings. 18 of South Dakota's 66 counties have at least one listing; the pages for the rest point to the nearest sites in neighboring areas.
Where can I recycle paint and batteries in South Dakota?
Dumpmapper lists 0 paint drop-offs and 0 battery drop-offs in South Dakota. Public data on these is thin, so also try the PaintCare site finder (it only covers states with a paint stewardship program) and the Call2Recycle battery locator. Our paint and battery guides cover the basics.
