• Bye, leaves. The city's two seasonal leaf and branch drop-off locations will open Saturday. One site is at North Lyon Boulevard, near the Sioux Empire Fairgrounds, and the other is on Chambers Street, near the city’s Hazardous Waste Facility. Both sites are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 12 noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. The sites are free for residents to use, and they'll both be open through Sunday, May 25.
  • Oh, and while we're spring cleaning... Sioux Falls residents (and anyone in the five-county area) get one free pass to the landfill each year. To redeem the free pass, residents can scan their driver’s license or state ID at the landfill. More details here.
  • Building a bunch of beds. Students at Southeast Technical College this week were a part of the college's largest single-day community service event to date. More than 360 volunteers got together to construct 86 beds for the nonprofit Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Learn more here.
