City of Phoenix to Purchase RNG Fueled Trucks with EPA Grant
Garbage collection in Phoenix is about to get more environmentally friendly.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently awarded the Phoenix Public Works Department with a $1 million Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grant to help to replace its diesel-fueled trucks with lower-emissions vehicles, according to a press release.
The grant will be combined with $2.1 million in matching funds from the department and a private partner to purchase 10 trucks – nine for solid waste collection and one for long haul – that run on compressed natural gas.
