Oct 07, 2024

The Pierre Solid Waste Department is burning a pile of trees today (Oct. 7, 2024) at the Material Recovery Site on the east side of town. The pile is located north of the Hughes County Jail and the State Women’s Prison. Solid Waste Manager Val Keller says it will likely smolder for several days. If you see smoke in that direction, there is no need for concern.
