“We are delighted to have the opportunity to support Waste Management in its expanding efforts to deploy CNG truck fleets that provide environmentally-friendly refuse collection and recycling services to its commercial and residential customer base. It is a clear leader in the industry converting its fleets to natural gas,” said Clean Energy’s vice president Raymond P. Burke.
The Houston-based waste operator currently deploys about 1,000 natural gas-powered (CNG and LNG) solid waste collection and recycling trucks throughout North America, and has CNG and LNG fueling stations at 17 of its facilities with more under construction.
Furthermore, Waste Management has recently announced its plans to convert its Columbus truck fleet. New NGVs will be used for refuse collection operations in this Ohio’s city, and will be the company’s first fleet of compressed natural gas trucks in the state.
