Every household in Minnehaha, Lincoln, McCook, Turner or Lake County gets one free visit per calendar year, tied to the household address.

It can include garbage, yard debris, construction debris, furniture, appliances, up to two mattresses or box springs and up to four tires 21 inches or smaller with the rims off.

Keep recyclables out of the load, and tarp or tie it down: unsecured loads pay a fee.
Rules
Electronics such as TVs, computers and cell phones are banned from the Sioux Falls landfill. Household hazardous waste goes to the city's separate collection facility, and commercial haulers need a city license to dump. In the fall the city also opens seasonal leaf and branch drop sites; lawn services, businesses and double-axle trailers have to use the landfill instead.
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.

How much does it cost to take a pickup load to the Sioux Falls landfill?
$21 a visit for household garbage in a pickup or small trailer under 3 cubic yards or 8,500 pounds, $20 for appliances or construction debris and $6 for yard debris. Bigger loads are charged by the ton.
Does Sioux Falls have a free landfill day?
Instead of a free day, each household in Minnehaha, Lincoln, McCook, Turner or Lake County gets one free visit per calendar year, for one load under 1,000 pounds. Show a South Dakota license or ID with your current address.
Can I take a TV to the Sioux Falls landfill?
No. Electronics, including TVs, computers and cell phones, are banned from the landfill, and they aren't covered by the free pass either.
