Toronto Garbage Trucks Will Soon Be Powered by RNG From the Very Food Scraps That They Collect
All of the garbage trucks in Toronto will soon be powered by the biogas produced from the very trash they collect.
Toronto is set to be one of the first cities in North America to launch such an initiative, thanks to the their newly-constructed Dufferin Solid Waste Management Facility.
Starting in March 2020, the city’s fleet of garbage trucks will collect all of the organic waste and flood scraps from the Toronto Green Bins and bring them to the facility for processing. The facility will then use anaerobic digesters to capture all of the biogas produced by the waste and transform it into renewable natural gas (RNG).
