Waste Management Inc. recently opened a new public access compressed natural gas fueling station at its facility in Santa Ana, Calif.
The new station, operated by fuel distributor PetroCard, is being used by the solid waste management company and is open to commercial fleets such as transit agencies, school districts and taxis, Waste Management said. Private owners of CNG-powered vehicles also can use the site.
“We are dedicated to doing business in the most sustainable way possible as well as offering our customers more ways to live green,” said Jason Rose, general manager and vice president of Waste Management of San Diego and Orange County, in a statement. “Natural gas powered vehicles run cleaner and quieter, improving air quality and reducing noise pollution.”
Waste Management operates the largest fleet of heavy-duty natural gas trucks in North America, the company said, including 141 vehicles in Orange County where Santa Ana is located.
