We only accept clean, corrugated cardboard—like brown shipping or moving boxes. It’s okay if they have writing or tape (Amazon boxes are fine), but no food stains—so no pizza boxes. We can’t accept shiny or glossy cardboard like diaper, cereal, shoe, or TV boxes. These are coated in plastic, and our recycling buyer won’t take them. Unfortunately, those need to go in the trash—bagged and tied to prevent litter.
Drop-Off Locations:
Fitzgerald Stadium (located on Sheridan Lake Rd) Rapid City Landfill (located at 5555 S Hwy 79) West Blvd North (located at 1117 Nickel St)
Curbside recycling does not accept cardboard. You may put it in your garbage can only if it's flattened, bagged, and tied—otherwise, it can jam your cart and prevent pickup.
