Rapid City, SD trash pickup by address.

Trash / garbage: Thursday.

Thursday is what one Rapid City address returned on October 26, 2026.

City crews are not able to service private roads, so residents on a private road must arrange collection with a private hauler.

Containers have to be out by 7 a.m. to be sure of collection.

Leave four feet between containers and four feet of clearance from vehicles, fencing, mailboxes and utility posts, because the trucks grab carts with an automated arm.

Only city-issued containers are emptied, and extra bags or boxes set beside the container are left behind.

Wind tips containers over often here, drivers stay in their trucks and keep going, and any trash that spills from a tipped can is the resident's to clean up.

Some newer streets are missing from the map. For an address the map does not cover we say so rather than guess a day.
