Midland County is stepping up its community‑service efforts with a free Community Trash Drop‑Off Event scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7, from 9 a.m. to noon. The event will be held at the Midland County Road & Bridge Department, located at 2435 E. Highway 80 in Midland, Texas.
What residents can bring
The county will accept a variety of household items that are no longer needed, helping families keep their homes and neighborhoods clean without incurring disposal fees. In addition to general trash, the county is specifically accepting tires. Participants who bring tires should be prepared to unload and stack them themselves, as county staff will focus on directing traffic and ensuring a safe, orderly process.
County support on site
Midland County employees will be on hand throughout the event to guide participants to the appropriate drop‑off areas, answer questions, and maintain a smooth flow of activity. Their presence underscores the county’s commitment to providing convenient, cost‑free waste‑management solutions for the community.
Why the event matters
Free trash drop‑off events like this one are part of Midland County’s broader effort to promote responsible waste disposal and protect the local environment. By offering a convenient location and time, the county helps residents avoid illegal dumping and reduces the burden on private waste‑removal services.
How to prepare
- Gather the items you wish to discard ahead of time.
- If you are bringing tires, be ready to unload them from your vehicle and stack them in the designated area.
- Arrive between 9 a.m. and noon on Nov. 7 to take advantage of the free service.
- Follow any on‑site directions from county staff to ensure a safe and efficient process.
The event is organized in conjunction with Basin Action Day, a regional initiative that encourages community participation in keeping the Permian Basin clean and beautiful. Residents are invited to take part, make a positive impact, and enjoy the convenience of a local, no‑cost disposal option.
