Green it Up - Fix it Up
- March/April/May
The City of Pierre promotes the Green
it Up – Fix it Up phase of the Go Green & Clean Campaign
by providing a free dump load at the landfill. Residents can
use this coupon to haul out the debris and junk from around
their yards. These coupons are not designated for typical
household garbage. The coupons will be mailed out in your
March Utility bill. The coupons are valid through the end of
November.
Our paint swap is available year round. Drop those cans of
paint that you can’t use at the Solid Waste Facility. Have a
project you need paint for…..stop by and see what is in our
selection. We inspect every can of paint that gets dropped
off to make sure it is good before we put it on the shelves
for our customers. There is not fee at the door for this
recycling program.
