Electronics Recycling

Electronics recycling is important for our environment, our health, and our economy. Many electronic devices contain heavy metals and toxic chemicals. If thrown away improperly, these can harm us, wildlife, and the land.

Electronics also have valuable metals like copper and cobalt, which can be reused to make new products.

Residents can recycle their electronics for free at the Sioux Falls Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Disposal of electronics is not allowed at the Sioux Falls Regional Landfill.
This service is only for people who live in one of these five counties: Lake, Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha, and Turner.
The facility does not accept electronics from businesses, farms, churches, or other organizations.

After Hours Guidelines

Do NOT drop off items after hours or when the facility is closed.

Instead, please return at another time. Leaving materials outside of the HHW Facility can endanger wildlife, children, other citizens, or staff. Temperature changes can cause certain chemicals to react or explode.

Dropping off items when the facility is closed is considered littering and is punishable under the City of Sioux Falls Ordinance, Chapter 57, with a fine of up to $200, plus court costs and/or 30 days in jail, as well as cleanup costs.

State and federal regulations could also apply.
