The Rapid City Solid Waste Division will provide safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible ​waste services for our community.

REDUCE

Reducing the amount of waste that you create is so important. Ditch those single use disposables. Use reusable water bottles, silverware, and straws.

REUSE

Can someone else reuse that item before you throw it away? Donating it, upcycling it, or selling it would be a great way to give it another chance before sending it to the landfill.

RECYCLE

If you can't reuse it, then recycle it. Recycling allows items to be recycled into another bottle or be remade into a park bench or piece of carpet. There are many things that recycled material can be used for.
