Refuse Haulers

Photo collage of refuse haulers.

Refuse haulers are often required to meet local fleet emissions standards and, because they are usually centrally fueled, they are good candidates to use alternative fuels. Currently, alternative-fuel refuse fleets are running on compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, propane, or biodiesel. Hybrid refuse haulers should also become available in the near future.
