GREEN-TRUCKS * USA - Seattle's garbage trucks to run on natural gas
Seattle is converting its garbage-truck fleet from diesel to compressed natural gas, in new hauling contracts starting March 30
Seattle,WAH,USA -The Seattle Times, by Mike Lindblom -30 Jan 2009: -- For years, Seattle has operated an aggressive curbside recycling program to reduce the need for expensive landfill space... Now the city seeks to despoil less of the atmosphere by converting its garbage-truck fleet from diesel to compressed natural gas (CNG) under new hauling contracts starting March 30... One contractor, Seattle-based CleanScapes, is buying 40 CNG trucks and building a fueling stop in Georgetown. The other, transcontinental giant Waste Management, is buying 106 trucks to be fueled in South Park... Waste Management's territory will be South and Northwest Seattle, while CleanScapes will cover the northeast and central areas of the city...
