Trash companies in four states have opened new compressed natural gas
fuel stations with the help of Clean Energy Fuels Corp.
The CNG stations, built by Clean Energy, are now operating for Choice
Environmental Services of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Central Jersey Waste of
Hamilton Township, N.J., Allied Waste Services of Boise, Idaho, and
South County Sanitary Co. of San Luis Obispo, Calif. Allied Waste is a
subsidiary of Republic Services Inc.
"CNG trash trucks reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 23% compared to
conventional diesel-powered models, and are quieter," said Raymond P.
Burke, vice president of Clean Energy.
Clean Energy, which provides both CNG and liquefied natural gas, has 195
locations in the United States and Canada that fuel more than 17,500
vehicles, the company said.
