New Natural Gas Trucks Hit the Streets!
There's something special about our new "shiny blue" garbage and recycling trucks rolling through Boise neighborhoods this month- they are the first refuse trucks in Idaho to run on natural gas!
Why is this a BIG deal? These clean-burning trucks emit virtually no harmful greenhouse gas "particulates", which means cleaner air for us to breathe!
Natural gas is a domestic product with historically low, stable pricing. Converting our fleet to natural gas decreases our dependency on foreign oil and helps us control costs. What does this mean to you, our customers? In addition to doing our part to stimulate the U.S. economy, we can better manage your trash rates, long-term.
Our new alternative fuel fleet of trucks will fill-up each night at our on-site fueling station (currently under construction). Within the next year or two we hope to expand this facility to include the first public natural gas pump in Idaho.
As always, we appreciate your support as we launch new programs and embark on new, "eco-friendly" adventures. We all stand to gain by protecting the environment we share.
Sincerely,
Rachele Klein
Allied Waste Business Development Manager
