Yes, we pick up in South Dakota. Tell us where your locations are and we’ll build a route around your schedule.
South Dakota has a lot of ground between towns, and plenty of haulers don’t bother with it. We do. Greene Recycling offers cardboard recycling in South Dakota for grocery stores, farm supply businesses, food processors, and retailers from Sioux Falls to the Black Hills.
Greene Recycling was founded in 1995 with routes in Texas and Oklahoma. We’re based in Georgetown, Texas, and today we serve more than 500 business locations in all 50 states. That reach is how we offer cardboard recycling in South Dakota without asking you to change the way your stores, kitchens, or loading docks already work.
We don’t have a truck route in South Dakota yet, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we do have is a simple process. You sign up, we map your locations, and we build a route around them. I-90 runs east to west and I-29 runs north to south, so we plan stops along those roads first. Your schedule can be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or will-call, set around your bale volume.
That’s how cardboard recycling in South Dakota begins for most new customers: one call, one plan, and pickups that match what your sites actually produce.
Every South Dakota account gets the same services we provide nationwide:

Cardboard has value, and we treat it that way. As a recycling broker, Greene Recycling sells baled cardboard into the recycling market. The more bales we pick up, the higher the rebate we can extend to you. A Sioux Falls distribution site and a small-town grocer both get paid for their bales.
For many businesses, that turns cardboard recycling in South Dakota from a monthly cost into something that pays back. Read how our recycling rebates work.
Agriculture and food processing anchor much of South Dakota’s economy, and tourism around the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore keeps restaurants and shops busy in summer. Retail and distribution in Sioux Falls add steady volume. We plan cardboard recycling in South Dakota around each, with schedules that can change by season.

We can serve businesses in Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and Aberdeen, plus Brookings and Watertown. We also offer cardboard recycling in South Dakota in Mitchell, Yankton, Pierre, and Spearfish.
If your location is in a small farm town, tell us. Monthly or will-call pickups often work best for sites like that.
Corrugated boxes are among the most recycled packaging materials in the country, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Long hauls to landfills make recycling cardboard a practical choice for South Dakota businesses. Baled cardboard goes back to paper mills and comes back as new boxes instead of taking up landfill space.
Steady cardboard recycling in South Dakota also gives you numbers to report. Every bale we pick up is material kept out of the trash, which helps when a corporate office or a customer asks about your waste diversion.
The first step is a short call. We ask where your South Dakota sites are, what kind of baler each one has, and roughly how many bales you fill in a typical week. If a site has no baler, we talk about whether a roll-off or a compactor makes more sense.
Next, we set your pickup days and confirm them with each store or plant manager. Once pickups begin, we watch the first few weeks closely. If bales stack up faster than expected, we add a stop. If they come in slower, we space pickups out. You can also check our FAQ page for quick answers before you call.
Clients like Walgreens and Crate & Barrel work with us because one company can handle locations in many states. If you have stores in South Dakota and in neighboring states, we can put them under one account with one point of contact. That helps chains with stores in South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota. Adding a location later takes a phone call.
Tell us where your South Dakota locations are, about how many bales you produce, and how often you want a pickup. We’ll build a plan and a route for your sites so you can start cardboard recycling in South Dakota. Request a quote online or call 512-630-5108 to talk with our team. Have locations in other states?
