Borrow-A-Container

A 4 x 6 x 4-foot (4 cubic yards) dumpster can be reserved by residential customers living within the Midland City limits for overnight loading by reserving one online or by calling DPS at 989-837-6900. Containers must be reserved at least two days in advance. Residents can reserve up to 4 containers per calendar year. There is no charge for this service.

Reservations are available Monday - Friday, and can be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. The driver will determine the safest location for placement. The container is placed on either your outlawn (between the curb and sidewalk) or driveway approach before 3:30 p.m. and collected early the following morning. Friday reservations may load over the weekend for early Monday morning pickup.
