Brookings Regional Landfill (South Dakota) — Hours, Fees & Rules
The Brookings Regional Landfill is at 4101 30th Street, open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. and Saturdays 8 to 11:45 a.m. It's closed Saturdays from December 1 through March 31.
Garbage and most other materials cost $49.25 a ton; lumber and trees are half that, $24.10 a ton.
The city's yard waste drop-off is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you don't need to wait for landfill hours for grass and leaves. Each spring the city also runs a bulky item pickup for residents. Holiday closures are on the city's landfill and collections calendar.
South Dakota has banned whole tires from its landfills since July 1995 (SDCL 34A-6-64): a tire has to be shredded or quartered first, which is why landfills charge for tires one by one. Stores that sell car batteries must take a used one back for each one they sell (SDCL 34A-6-91). State rules don't ban appliances or electronics outright, so each landfill sets its own rules for them.
