Scrap metal removal in Midland: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
Monthly heavy item and brush collection
Accepted with preparationEvery 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
Accepted with preparationScrap 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.
The handoff matters
Right item.
Right place.
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 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.

Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?

Can you collect it today?
Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.
