Dumps & landfills in South Dakota

South Dakota is served mostly by landfills run by larger cities such as Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Brookings, Watertown and Mitchell, which post per-ton rates. Small towns use restricted-use rubble sites that take construction debris but not household garbage. Posted rates are typically $41-$60 a ton with small per-visit or minimum charges.
