Title: City of Sioux Falls Electronics Recycling


Don’t wait for Saturdays, electronics recycling drop-off is available Tuesday through Saturday year-round!

Residents no longer need to wait until the second Saturday of the month to recycle electronics.

Year-round, residents can recycle electronics Tuesday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 12 noon, at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility. The HHWF is located at 1015 East Chambers Street, Sioux Falls (at the corner of North Cliff Avenue and East Chambers Street, just north of John Morrell & Co.).

There is a limit of five electronic items per drop-off. However, a computer unit (keyboard, mouse, CPU, and monitor) counts as one item. This program is only for residential electronics from citizens located in Lake, Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha, and Turner counties.

Commercial, business, government, and institutional electronics will not be accepted. No microwaves or other appliances are accepted. Please see www.siouxfalls.org/green or call 605-367-8695 for more specific information on acceptable electronic items.

Since May 2004, the City banned a specific list of electronics from the landfill including computers and televisions. Many of the banned items contain hazardous substances such as solvents, mercury, lead, chromium, and brominated flame retardants. To date, the City has collected and recycled over 2 million pounds of electronics.
