Republic Services adds 17 CNG refuse trucks to Denver fleet
20 August 2018
Republic Services has added 17 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) solid waste collection trucks to its fleet serving customers throughout the greater Denver area. The CNG trucks replace older diesel-powered trucks, and bring the total number of natural gas vehicles operated by the company throughout Colorado to 108.
Republic Services operates a natural gas fueling station at its Commerce City location, which supports its expanding Denver-based CNG fleet. Half of the company’s fleet serving the greater Denver metropolitan area is now powered by this domestic fuel source.
Republic Services operates the seventh-largest vocational fleet in the country, and its CNG fleet saves roughly 26 million gallons of diesel fuel annually. The company’s multi-year commitment to convert its fleet to vehicles that operate on CNG and Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is resulting in reduced fleet greenhouse gas emissions while reducing fuel usage.
Republic Services, Inc. is an industry leader in US recycling and non-hazardous solid waste disposal. Through its subsidiaries, Republic’s collection companies, recycling centers, transfer stations and landfills focus on providing effective solutions to make responsive waste disposal effortless for its 14 million customers.
