Neighborhood Wide Cleanup

One of the most popular events for Midtown has been our neighborhood-wide clean-up. It will be scheduled at a later date. We will have dumpsters on the east side of the Cox North Medical Center's east parking lot along Benton Street. Anything but hazadorous waste can be put in the dumpsters. We will also have a tree service company to chip limbs and branches. Volunteers are needed to help pick up merchandise from homes that can't get to the dumpster site.
