Starting the week of September 8, 2025, Rapid City’s Solid Waste Division will modify garbage collection in Chapel Valley due to weight limits on the Chapel Lane Bridge. Standard trucks can no longer access the area, so crews are temporarily using smaller rear-load trucks with can tippers. A new side-load truck has been approved for purchase.
Residents should place dumpsters curbside by 7 a.m. on regular collection days. All trash must be bagged, lids closed, and bins placed four feet from obstacles. Recycling and yard waste pickup remain suspended, but drop-off sites are available at Fitzgerald Stadium, West Boulevard North, and the Rapid City Landfill.
Updates will be shared via the city’s social media and communication channels. For questions, contact Shannon Truax at 605-394-4165 ext. 2425 or shannon.truax@rcgov.org.
