The Brookings Regional landfill serves approximately 35,000 people spread out over portions of seven counties. The counties involved are Brookings, Deuel, Hamlin, Kingsbury, Lake, Miner and Moody. Some of the major cities are Arlington, Brookings, Colman, DeSmet, Estelline, Flandreau, Howard, Toronto and Volga. The city of Madison is in the Sioux Falls region, however the smaller towns in Lake County are in our region.

The regions were established based on who the haulers were and the shortest distance to the landfill. The landfill is designed as a subtitle D landfill with a clay liner, leachate collection system and required monitoring programs for groundwater, air quality and surface water.

The landfill is permitted to handle municipal solid waste and special wastes such as asbestos and petroleum contaminated soil. The trees and branches are either burned or chipped based on the availability of the wood grinder. The trommel screen and wood grinder are owned jointly with the City of Sioux Falls Landfill.

The landfill usually handles approximately 32,000 tons of municipal solid waste per year, plus varying amounts of compost trees, scrap metals and petroleum-contaminated soil.
