Other notes
- The fee is based on the size of the truck or trailer, not how full it is; sizes not on the chart are rounded up to the next larger size.
- Punch cards are sold at the City Finance Office, 1040 Harley-Davidson Way (605-347-4422), and the Public Works Department, 1057 Dudley St (605-347-3916). Sturgis residents without a utility bill (for example in an apartment or mobile home park) can get a Rubble Site Pass at the Public Works Office.
- Accepted: concrete, brick, stonework, asphalt, concrete block, scrap lumber, untreated wood, trees and branches, grass and leaves, shingles, insulation, cardboard, plastic, styrofoam, painted wood, packaging, furniture, mattresses, white goods, scrap metal (no fuel tanks), ash, lead-acid batteries and scrap tires.
- Refrigerators and freezers must have the Freon drained and an EPA form attached; forms are at the Public Works Office or the rubble site.
- Not accepted: household garbage (it goes to the Belle Fourche landfill), CRT TVs and monitors, computers and electronics, hazardous waste, and treated wood (CCA green-treated or PCP brown-treated). Tires larger than 24 inches inside diameter are not accepted.
- Tire fees and the battery and used oil rules are from the city's undated Solid Waste Administrative Rates and Policies document linked from the rubble site page (PDF created in 2012), so call to confirm current tire prices. That document also says asphalt shingles are taken from residential customers only.
