And, the conversion numbers illustrate this each new CNG collection truck that is deployed is equivalent to planting more than 600 mature trees each year. Republic Services believes that using CNG vehicles provides a competitive advantage in communities with strict clean emission initiatives that focus on protecting the environment, like San Diego. The company says the entire local fleet will be converted within a few years. While 18 percent of the company’s fleet is powered by CNG nationwide, more than 60 percent of Republic Services’ fleet in San Diego run on clean natural gas. Nationwide, Republic Services operates a fleet of more than 2,500 CNG vehicles and 38 natural gas fueling stations-helping to save about 18 million gallons of diesel fuel every year.
“And it’s easier to maintain the fleet using compressed natural gas as it’s more reliable.” “Natural gas is economical and clean,” said Steve Miesen, division manager for Republic Services in San Diego. One way the company does that is by operating fleets of refuse and recycling vehicles that run on compressed natural gas (CNG). Republic Services’ refuse haulers log more than 420,000 miles in San Diego County every month and are committed to providing reliable environmental services to customers while also protecting the planet’s natural resources. If you live in one of the many cities here, including San Diego, Chula Vista, Poway or Escondido, chances are your trash and recycling needs are managed by Republic Services, an industry leader in recycling and non-hazardous solid waste in cities across America.
And while we do our part to reduce, reuse and recycle, wouldn’t it be nice to know your local trash service is also going the extra mile to protect the environment? Once we haul our trash to the bins outside, most of us don’t give it much thought, trusting that the “garbage man” will dispose of it.
