YARD WASTE SITE CLOSED
The City of Midland’s yard waste site will close temporarily while workers remove the waste and clean up the site. Residents wanting a location to dump yard waste should visit Discount Materials, located at 4705 W. Industrial, until the City site reopens. Residents should also be reminded that mattresses, toilets, lumber, furniture, bricks, and other non-yard waste materials should not be dumped at the yard waste site. Placing these types of items at the site is considered illegal dumping. Residents and business owners should be aware of the fines associated with illegal dumping. The City of Midland has a large-item pickup program. Residents can simply call the city at 685.7278 and request a pickup for non-yard waste items. Businesses are reminded to utilize the city landfill for dumping purposes. The City mulches the yard waste deposited at the site. The process includes grinding the branches into smaller wood chips that are collected directly into a 30 cubic yard container. The full container is loaded onto a truck and hauled to the landfill. There, the material is used to cover the landfill. Media Contact: Morris Williams/Director of Utilities at 685.7278
