How the Landfill Works
Each month, Midland County residents may dispose of up to three (3) cubic yards
of general household or yard waste for free during one landfill visit.
More loads from the same address in the same month will be charged
according to landfill
disposal rates.
Residential Drop-Off Site Pull your vehicle up to
a handy drop-off-site to dispose of general household or yard
waste.
Recycling at the Landfill Recycling services are offered by a
volunteer organization with headquarters just inside the Landfill gates. Click here
