What We Do

The Municipal and Community Services (MaCS) Department consists of multiple divisions within the City of Weatherford . These divisions are Animal Services, Fleet Maintenance, and Solid Waste and Recycling .

Animal Services

The City of Weatherford’s Animal Services division strives to improve the bond between animals and their owners by education of responsible pet ownership . Animal Services provides Animal Control to the City of Weatherford and contracts with the cities of Aledo, Hudson Oaks, and Willow Park . The city also contracts with the unincorporated Parker County to intake animals to the animal shelter .

Medical Center Grand Opening

The Rees-Jones Foundation Medical and Surgical Center was unveiled to the public over the summer, hosting a grand opening and allowing everyone a personal tour of the facility . Donors, volunteers, other city departments, council members, and citizens all gathered to learn more about the building, the future vision of the animal shelter, and showed their support of Animal Services in our community .

Dr. Stacy McLeod

Having a skilled veterinarian on staff is a huge asset to the city and the shelter. Dr. Stacy McLeod brings many years of experience in private clinics seeing both large and small animals. She has a wealth of knowledge and has the perfect personality for work in an animal shelter.

The Fleet Services division provides support and oversight for preventative maintenance, record retention, fuel card management, and registrations of all departments for the city .

Solid Waste and Recycling Division

The Solid Waste and Recycling Division (SWRD) provides solid waste collection services to the residents and some small businesses of Weatherford to ensure a clean and healthy environment . SWRD provides curbside garbage pickup, voluntary curbside recycling, electronics recycling, and brush and bulk collection .

Keeping the Community Clean

SWRD staff routinely go the extra mile by picking up scattered trash on windy days, or when a bag rips as citizens put their waste out on the curb . Employees take their roles seriously and know the importance of keeping the community clean .

Maintaining City Equipment

We value the solid waste trucks, pickups, and even the recycle carts provided by the city to our department . Keeping them clean, maintained, and greased allows us to keep our equipment running longer and operating at maximum potential every day .
