City of Midland – Public Information
These events may or may not be specific events for children, however much of what the city posts is relevant to families. Well informed community members make for a safer and stronger city for kids!
It is Utilities Month at the City of Midland and today we are highlighting our Assistant Utilities Director, Cory Moose.
Prior to working with the City, Cory spent four years with the U.S. Marine Corps, including two deployments to Iraq. After the Marine Corps, Cory started looking for jobs and landed one here in Midland at the Water Treatment Plant since then he hasn't looked back. Take a look to see Cory's journey with the City of Midland.

Texas' most dynamic economy isn't in Dallas, Houston or even Austin

To find the most dynamic economy in Texas, you'll need to hop in your truck and head west for about five hours.Among the pumpjacks and prairie land...Our last video on how to recycle in Midland, focuses on aluminum.
We also share with you easy ways to reduce and reuse before even having to recycle.
We hope you will all do your part to #recycleright and keep our city beautiful! #MidlandProud #MyMidland
Why doesn’t Butts Recycling take glass? Glass is infinitely recyclable? There is nowhere in town (besides target, although I’m not sure they really recycle it) to take glass. It’s piling up in my garage!
The city of Midland doe6make recycling ease at all. All the recycling bins were removed. Only one place left by the post office on Smith. So how is that making Midland beautiful? Why can't Midland try to be like Houston for example where
Sorry, not done. In Houston, Katy, etc, the recyclables are picked up from homes once a week. So will be nice to try up here to encourage people to recycle. Not to many will take the time to drive 15 plus miles to one center that probably will be full to the rim. So disappointing 😕
You have learned about how to recycle plastics and cardboard, now learn about paper.
Remember the only recycling item that should ever be in a plastic bag is shredded paper and that goes in the paper bin. Doreen Womack with Keep Midland Beautiful tells us more. #MidlandProud #MyMidland
Where have all the recycling bins gone?
Today at City Hall, City Council proclaimed June 13, 2019 – June 19, 2019, as Emancipation Proclamation Celebration Days in honor of the African American Community of Midland!
Good Job. 2019 Happy 19th👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
