Annual Free Landfill Pass

Please bring a piece of mail confirming your name and current mailing address. Please note: the pass is only available to residents in Sioux Falls and the landfill’s five-county service area.

Accepted mail must:

• Show your name (name on mail must match the driver’s license/state ID)
• Have your physical/residential address (cannot be handwritten documents)
• Be less than three months old

Examples of such documents are a utility bill, pay stub, rent receipt, phone bill, bank statement, mortgage document, homeowner’s insurance policy/bill, tax document or vehicle registration.

No. The program allows for one load per household address. The person using the pass should have a driver’s license or state ID that matches their current home/business address.

Please note: Individuals living in multi-family housing like apartments can participate in the program. Their driver’s license or state ID should have their specific unit/apartment number on it.

Landfill staff can look up your address to see if the pass associated with it has been used.

In 2023, the landfill purchased new software that allows staff to scan residents’ driver’s licenses or state IDs to redeem the free pass instead of mailing postcards to all residents. This change allows more people to participate in the program saves time and money for the City and residents.

Only driver’s licenses and state IDs are accepted. Other forms of identification generally do not include current addresses, which is required for the program.

If you live outside the zip codes listed in our service area and have previously participated in the program, please contact the landfill team at 605-367-8162.
