Myth: Other cities recycle way more than Sioux Falls!
REALITY: Sioux Falls accepts about the same — and in some cases, more.
What’s accepted for recycling depends on local markets and where materials can actually be processed. Some states require items to be collected even if they don’t have a reliable place to go. South Dakota doesn’t do that.
