Cressman Sanitation

Cressman Sanitation began in early 2013 by Johnn Cressman. The Cressman name may sound familiar as Johnn's parents owned a Cressman Sanitation from 1986 to 2000. Johnn Cressman started out in the garbage business very young, helping with the family business, and learning the ropes of the garbage and recycling services. It all started as Cressman's grandfather, Dale Bolte, started Bolte Sunrise Sanitary Service in the 1960's. Now, as a 3rd generation and going strong, Cressman Sanitation's goal is to make each and every one of their customers happy and satisfied with their strong customer service and garbage and recycling needs.

Changes to trash and recycle routes in Sioux Falls

Recently we routed each of our customers in the Sioux Falls area. We acquired Dan's Garbage Service and found that with adding on Dan's customers to ours we ended up driving by the same houses twice in one week. So we decided to reroute our customers so we were able run our trash routes more efficiently. We have sent calendars to each customer specifying which day their trash and recycling weeks will be on. If you have not received a calendar with this information on it. Please contact us. Thank you for your understanding during this transition.

Recycling

Effective June 1st, 2015, our recycling center has started charging the trash haulers a recycling fee. You may have seen this information on Kelo-Land and in the Argus Leader. Cressman Sanitation will not be able to absorb this expense, so we will need to pass on a small recycling fee to our customers. This is a mandatory charge for each customer as well. RECYCLING IS A MANDATED CITY ORDINANCE. It is very important to us that you recycle. Each home and business are required to recycle. If you are unsure what should or should not be recycled, please contact us for more information.

Recycling for all homes and apartments is single stream, meaning all recyclables may be mixed together. Below are all the items, do’s, don’ts, and how to’s of recycling. Recycling is picked every other week in Sioux Falls and every week in Hartford and Humboldt. If your recycling is picked every other week you should have a schedule marked with a 'shaded week' on the calendar that we sent to you. Recycling products need to be set out and visible from the street/alley and accessible to the truck pick up. We do ask to have your own separate can and marked for recycling. If you do not have one we will deliver a tip cart out to you free of charge. Please Only Recycle the Items listed Below:
