The City of San Francisco announced that its entire fleet of garbage and recycling trucks now run on alternative fuel.
As of March 19, over 400 garbage collection vehicles have been running on alternative fuels, said a Norcal Waste System Inc. spokesman, resulting in a 21% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.
The three companies that work under the umbrella of Norcal Waste System Inc. – Sunset Scavenger, Golden Gate Disposal & Recycling and S.F. Recycling & Disposal, Inc. – began experimenting with alternative fuels in 2001 when they built a liquefied natural gas filling station.
In March, they switched over the rest of the fleet, which now run on liquefied natural gas or biodiesel B-20.
