Recycling in Winner: A Local Guide
Winner, the county seat of Tripp County in south-central South Dakota, serves its recycling needs through three distinct facilities — two county-operated recycling sites and one private scrap metal yard.
The most convenient weekday option is the Tripp County Recycling Center at 200 E 3rd St in downtown Winner, open Monday through Friday 9 AM–5 PM. The city-run center accepts aluminum cans (purchased at current market rate per pound — bring them clean and dry for cash), newspapers, magazines, paper, cardboard (broken down flat and dry), and rinsed tin cans (label removed). Drop-off is free for all materials except aluminum, which earns payment. Call 605-842-3028 with questions.
For residents who cannot make it on weekdays, the Tripp County Recycling & Transfer Facility at 31718 278th St operates Tuesday and Thursday 9 AM–4 PM and Saturday 9 AM–1 PM. The county transfer station accepts the same household recyclables free of charge, plus handles non-recyclable waste for a fee: loads from within Winner city limits start at $25, and out-of-city loads start at $75. Larger vehicle loads require prior approval from the Public Works Director. The facility shares the 605-842-3028 phone number.
For scrap metal and junk vehicles, B&B Recycling LLC at 31379 277th St is a family-owned scrap yard open Monday through Friday 8 AM–4 PM (scale closes at 3:45 PM). B&B pays cash for ferrous metals (scrap iron, cast iron, tin, wire, appliances), non-ferrous metals (copper wire and pipe, aluminum, brass, radiators), and complete vehicles. Cars require a title and must have all fluids drained before arrival. The yard does not accept loose tires, asbestos, or hazardous materials.
Other South Dakota communities with public recycling programs include Pierre, Mitchell, Yankton, and Watertown. For a full directory, see the South Dakota recycling page.
