“Since natural gas-powered collection trucks run cleaner and quieter, we’ve made the commitment to use more in our local operations and support them and our community by opening a CNG station to service municipal and corporate fleets,” said WM Florida Area Vice President Tim Hawkins. “We are dedicated to providing our customers with outstanding service while doing business in the most sustainable manner possible.”
Along with Pompano Beach self-service station, the company expects to have 45 CNG fueling sites in place by the end of 2012. In Florida, the company has a CNG slow fill station in Sarasota with two others planned for Palm Beach County and Tampa in 2013.
“Broward County applauds the investment Waste Management has made to make clean, natural gas more available not only for its own vehicles, but for municipal and commercial fleets throughout the county,” said Broward County Commissioner Chip LaMarca who spoke at the ribbon cutting event.
