• Construction containers can be provided to our customers upon request. These containers are 30 cubic yard open-tops. Charges for these containers are billed on the customers' current water bill or set up through Customer Service. For prices and availability, please call 432-685-7278.

For residential customers, the City of Midland will pick up furniture and appliances at no additional charge by calling 432-685-7278 to set up a pickup date. These items must be placed in the alley in the city right-of-way; the city will not go onto private property. Do not place your item next to the dumpster; it needs to be behind your home, in the alley. These larger item collections must be scheduled with the Solid Waste Division and are currently collected by date of call.
