Millennium Recycling, we believe that seeing is believing. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we’ve been selected as one of the featured facilities in the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR)’s Recycling in Action Month this May!

Throughout the month, material recovery facilities (MRFs) and plastic recycling facilities across the country are opening their doors to show how recycling really works—what happens after you put items in the bin and how those materials are sorted, recovered, and turned into new products.

We’re proud to represent the Sioux Falls region as one of the stops on this nationwide tour.

Why It Matters

Most people know the basics of recycling, but understanding why some things can be recycled and others can’t—and what actually happens to those materials—can make a big difference.

By offering behind-the-scenes tours this month, we hope to:
✔ Show the technology that separates materials efficiently.
✔ Explain how contamination can disrupt recycling.
✔ Highlight the environmental and economic benefits of recycling locally.
✔ Rebuild public trust that recycling does work—and is making an impact right here in Sioux Falls.

Book a Tour

Whether you’re a resident, educator, local leader, or business group, we invite you to schedule a tour and see the process up close.

Tours are available throughout May (and really anytime!), but this month they’ll be part of the larger Recycling in Action national campaign. Spots fill quickly, so be sure to reserve early!

Let’s Keep Materials Out of the Landfill

By participating in this national effort, we’re not just showcasing our facility—we’re helping to grow understanding, reduce contamination, and build a stronger circular economy that keeps valuable materials out of the trash.

Thank you for supporting recycling in Sioux Falls and beyond. Let’s keep working together for a cleaner, more sustainable future!
