Keep Midland Beautiful (KMB) celebrated its 40th anniversary on April 12, with plans to honor its volunteers for their service. The milestone was observed a week after the non-profit organization assisted the city of Midland and Midland County with the inaugural Trash-off.
According to its website, KMB was established in February 1983, with initial funding and support provided by the city and the Midland Chamber of Commerce. KMB was originally known as Clean Midland.
The primary objective of KMB is to empower individuals with the necessary tools and knowledge to maintain a clean, vibrant, and beautiful community. Its mission is "to educate and inspire, to bring about a clean, beautiful, and waste-free Midland."
As part of the Keep America Beautiful (KAB) Clean Community System, KMB also promotes recycling initiatives.
KMB is seeking volunteers for its 26th Annual National Spring Community Cleanup Event/Don't Mess With Texas Trash Off. The event will continue until May 31.
