You may not think about your trash very much after you put it in a garbage can, but someone has to make sure that those materials get disposed of properly. That’s our job – the Huron Solid Waste Department. Not all trash is the same. Some things cannot be thrown in a garbage can, they have to be specially prepared or disposed of elsewhere. The following information is important, and we ask that you take the time to read it carefully. Some of the guidelines are to help protect us or other people from injury while we handle your garbage; other guidelines are to help us comply with state regulations.

If you have questions, please email us at dalef@huronsd.com or call us at 353-8542. We have a 24-hour answering service and will be glad to answer your questions. Thanks for your help.
