Description
The South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR) supports improvements to solid waste disposal and recycling capabilities through grants and low-interest loans awarded by the Board of Water and Natural Resources. Funding comes primarily through the Solid Waste Management Program, established in 1992 for solid waste disposal, recycling, and waste tire projects. Disposal projects with groundwater protection features may also receive Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans as nonpoint source projects.
Projects should advance South Dakota’s waste management hierarchy or provide cost savings, public health benefits, or environmental benefits. The hierarchy favors source reduction, followed by recycling and reuse, energy production, and landfill disposal or combustion for volume reduction. Recycling projects receive a statutory grant or loan preference.
