Faculty and students from Midland Independent School District (ISD) recently participated in a clean-up initiative aimed at maintaining the cleanliness of the Permian Basin.
"In an effort to give back to our community, Midland ISD teamed up with ProPetro Services to participate in their "Don't Mess With the Permian" trash pickup initiative! Thank you ProPetro for providing gloves and vests to keep our students and staff safe during the cleanup," said ISD, Midland ISD, according to X.
ProPetro, an oilfield services leader in the Permian Basin, launched this spring clean-up campaign with the goal of removing as much litter as possible from the community. The scope of the initiative extends to even minute pieces of trash such as food wrappers, receipts, cigarette butts, and garbage discarded from moving vehicles, according to information on ProPetro's website.
