Fall Free Yard Waste Collection Begins October 7

September 20, 2024 - The City of Midland will offer Fall Free yard waste collection beginning October 7 through the remainder of the 2024 yard waste collection season. During this free period, 60-cent per bag stickers and annual yard waste bin stickers are not required.

Resident are asked to refrain from raking leaves to the street until bulk curbside collection begins later in October. Curbside collection of leaves will begin after significant leaf fall has occurred citywide, which is typically late October.
