You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Every Midland address gets one truckload of heavy items and brush each month, up to ten cubic yards or two piles eight feet by four feet by four feet, on the collection week for its area.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per item fee for the monthly collection beyond the one truckload allowance and states that additional truckloads are billed to the resident, so confirm the item and any charge with the Department of Public Works on 989-837-6900.
When & how
Items go out by 7:30 a.m. on the scheduled Monday and may be placed at the curb from the Saturday before the collection week. Area A starts the first Monday of the month, Area B the second, Area C the third and Area D the fourth, and the crew takes the whole week for its area without returning to a street it has passed.
Get it ready
Place the pile in the outlawn between the curb and the sidewalk rather than in the street, keep items under eight feet long, separate brush from household items with a foot of space between the piles, and keep the pile clear of poles, trees, hydrants, mailboxes and fiber boxes. Masonry, car batteries and car parts, hazardous material, dead animals, loose soil and sod, brush in one continuous pile and more than four tires a year are all refused.
Scrap metal is named in the monthly heavy item collection, so a metal load rides the same truckload allowance as furniture and brush.
City cost & eligibility
Scrap metal is collected inside the monthly heavy item programme rather than priced on its own, so confirm the load and any charge with the Department of Public Works on 989-837-6900.
When & how
Put the metal out with the monthly heavy item pile by 7:30 a.m. on the Monday of your area's collection week, and keep any brush in a separate pile.
Get it ready
Keep the metal inside the one truckload allowance and under eight feet long, and keep car batteries, car parts and old vehicles out of the pile because those are refused. Refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, hot water tanks, stoves, washers and dryers need their own scheduled collection rather than a place in the pile.
Up to four tires per address each year are collected with the monthly heavy items, and the landfill charges by the tire for anything beyond that allowance.
City cost & eligibility
$10 per passenger car or truck tire at the city landfill, with heavy equipment tires at $30 each, while up to four tires per address each year ride the monthly heavy item collection without a published per tire charge. Midland County residents at the landfill, who must show a current driver's licence, Michigan ID or property tax assessment to prove county residency, and city refuse customers on the monthly heavy item collection.
When & how
Up to four tires per address each year go out with the monthly heavy item pile by 7:30 a.m. on the Monday of the area's collection week, and further tires go to the landfill on East Ashman Street during its open hours.
Get it ready
Keep the yearly limit in mind, because more than four tires a year is on the refusal list for the curbside collection. At the landfill the gatehouse attendant estimates the load and charges by the tire, and the landfill also notes that additional fees can apply for tires and refrigerant appliances.
One truckload a month, outlawn only, brush in its own pile
The monthly heavy item collection allows one truckload per address, up to ten cubic yards or two piles each eight feet by four feet by four feet, and anything more is billed to the resident. Items go in the outlawn between the curb and the sidewalk rather than the street, stay under eight feet long, and sit clear of poles, trees, hydrants, mailboxes and fiber boxes. Brush and household items go in separate piles a foot apart, the pile goes out by 7:30 a.m. on the Monday of the area's week and no earlier than the Saturday before, and containers left with the pile are taken away with their contents.
The landfill takes Midland County waste and three free cubic yards a month
The city landfill on East Ashman Street accepts only waste generated in Midland County, and each month a Midland County household may bring up to three cubic yards from its own home at no charge, with the residential drop-off pad a few yards from the gatehouse so loads do not have to be lifted into a high dumpster. Residency has to be shown with a driver's licence, Michigan ID or property tax assessment, the attendant estimates the load and charges for the excess by material type, and businesses are not eligible for the free allowance. Published rates include tires, appliances, demolition material and yard waste by the cubic yard.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
