Grass Clippings, Leaves & Garden Waste
Yard waste (grass clippings, leaves, and garden waste) should not be placed with your regular trash or recycling. Occupants, owners, or managers are responsible for hiring a waste hauling company to provide collection services for yard waste or self-haul this material to an appropriate facility. Grass clippings and leaves are processed for composting at the Sioux Falls Regional Sanitary Landfill. For yard waste processing rates, visit Landfill Rates.
Limbs & Branches
Limbs and branches should be kept separate from yard waste (grass clippings and leaves) when arranging collection services or when delivering this material to an appropriate facility. Limbs & branches are ground up to make mulch. For limbs & branches processing rates, visit Landfill Rates.
Yard debris is accepted year-round at the Sioux Falls Regional Sanitary Landfill.
Seasonal Yard Debris Drop Off Program
The City of Sioux Falls offers free leaf & branch drop off sites during specific periods in the spring and fall for residents. These drop off sites are free to use for residents within the five-county region (Lake, Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha & Turner Counties). Branches and leaves must be kept separate, and no root balls, please. Commercial businesses and contractors are not permitted at these free sites and must take their materials to the Sioux Falls Regional Sanitary Landfill or another approved facility.
