Yard Waste Collection Available until November 30
Cooler fall temperatures are setting in and serve as a reminder that it’s time to get your yard work done before winter strikes. Fall yard waste collection ends Nov. 30 for Novak Sanitary Service residential customers in Brandon, Harrisburg, Sioux Falls, and Tea so yard waste customers still have time to take advantage of this convenient yard waste collection service.
There are two convenient options for yard waste service – weekly and on-call. To start yard waste service or learn more about these convenient yard waste collection options, call 605-338-7126 or email.
For current yard waste collection customers, Novak Sanitary Service reminds customers to be mindful of what can and cannot be placed in collection containers.
Acceptable Items in the yard waste collection containers include:
- Flowers
- Grass clippings
- Leaves
- Pine needles
- Soft organic garden material
- Straw
When preparing your yard waste, remember that unacceptable items include:
- Branches and twigs
- Garbage or Trash
- Pet waste
- Pine cones
- Plastic bags
- Wood waste
Separating yard waste correctly pays off with free compost for your yard and garden. The Sioux Falls Regional Sanitary Landfill offers free compost for households in five counties – Lake, Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha, and Turner – made from yard waste collection materials.
For residents in these five counties, getting free compost is as simple as visiting the landfill during regular business hours, notifying the scale house attendant that you’d like compost, and you’ll be directed to the proper spot. Just remember to bring a container and shovel to load your compost.
