Household Hazardous Waste Facility
What We Do
The Household Hazardous Waste Facility, or HHW Facility, is a permanent drive through drop-off location that allows residents of Lake, Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha or Turner Counties to properly dispose of unwanted hazardous and electronics materials for free. The HHW facility does NOT accept waste from organizations such as businesses, farms, nonprofit organizations, churches, schools, and governmental entities, or waste that appears to be from any of the above mentioned.
How Does it Work?
Residents of the five county area serviced by the HHW facility may drive up under the facility awning during normal hours of operation. A staff member will greet the resident at their vehicle, take some basic information, and begin unloading the vehicle for the resident. The materials will then be sorted for reuse, recycling, or disposal.
Do NOT Drop Off Items after Hours.
City of Sioux Falls Ordinance Chapter 57 prohibits littering. This is punishable with a fine up to $200 plus court costs and/or 30 days in jail and costs of cleanup. State and federal regulations could also apply.
Serving the residents of Lake, Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha, and Turner Counties.
Year-Round Household Hazardous Waste Drop Off
Any material that can be harmful to your health and environment, unless properly used, stored, or disposed of can be considered a hazardous waste. Words such as "caution," "warning," "danger," or "flammable" on the label are clues the product may be a hazardous material.

What is the Reuse Room?
The HHW facility redistributes household and automotive chemicals through the Reuse Room. If items taken in by staff are determined to be in good, reusable condition, residents of the five-county region may visit our REUSE ROOM and pick up to three items per week for free. Staff is unable to guarantee the quality of the products, but each item is inspected before making it available to the public. The Reuse Room is located inside the Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1015 East Chambers Street.
