I guess I really never thought about it, but unlike other major cities, we don’t have curbside garbage removal;
As things stand today, that’s a chore my daughter or son won’t have to worry about. That’s because the city of Sioux Falls wants its residents to pay more for garbage service. The wise men of City Hall don’t allow their residents to buy curbside garbage services. Thus, you pay more.
The garbage collection system in Sioux Falls is unique. Not just unique, but odd. And incredibly inefficient.
While I totally agree we could improve on curbside garbage service, my hide has often been chapped about recycling in Sioux Falls, something we should get credit for on our bills, since the garbage haulers are making money from my recycling while charging me to pick it up. Seems kinda odd and chintzy.
I have a great hauler, one of the most prompt and inexpensive in town. I even convinced one of my neighbors to use them. Falls Garbage.
But it is kinda irritating that I have to hear a garbage truck almost every weekday from different haulers at different times, and at different locations in my hood.
