Brookings Regional Landfill
Brookings Regional Landfill, 4101 30th Street, Brookings, 57006, South Dakota
Brookings Regional Landfill on 30th Street in Brookings, South Dakota is the local burial site for household and commercial refuse. Residents doing big cleanouts and commercial haulers both use this facility.
The site is large and open, with heavy equipment working and trucks maneuvering around piles and cells. There’s usually a scale and an entrance booth to check in before heading into the tipping area, and loads are typically charged by weight. Pull up slowly, give big trucks plenty of room to turn, and be ready for gravel or dirt roads inside. Weekends and spring cleanup time tend to be the busiest, so expect lines then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose loads with a tarp so debris doesn’t blow off during the drive and unloading is cleaner.
- Try for a weekday or early morning visit to avoid the longest lines - weekends and seasonal cleanups get backed up.
- Stage items in the truck so unloading goes quickly: keep bulky things accessible and separate anything that might need special handling before getting out of the vehicle.
