Dependable Sanitation, Inc.

Dependable Sanitation Inc is a family owned and operated waste collection and disposal company covering northeastern South Dakota.

For residential, commercial, industrial and recycling, DSI has a variety of container sizes and schedules to fit all your needs.

Myron Erickson started Dependable Sanitation Inc in 1969 in Groton SD. It all began with just a pickup and a friendly deed to some neighbors. Myron found that there were many folks who were unable to handle their trash barrels all on their own. He decided to help out by loading up their barrels in the back of his truck and dumping them at the local dump site.

Michael, the eldest son, and Gertrude built the business through the years expanding to areas all over northeastern South Dakota. After Gertrude’s retirement, Michael became the sole owner. DSI has grown into five plants that employ 50 people, including Michael’s three children.

Today’s garbage industry has extended into more than dumping cans for neighbors. The environment has become an important asset that requires landfill studies, recycling, transfer stations and so much more. DSI has followed the growing trends to develop into the largest privately owned waste collector in South Dakota.
