Waste Management is also planning to expand its fleet of natural gas-powered collection vehicles in the Houston area.
Waste Management Fleet & Logistics vice president Eric Woods said the company already operates over 1400 CNG vehicles.
"Each additional Class 8 diesel truck we replace with natural gas reduces diesel use by an average of 8,000 gallons per year and cuts annual greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 22 metric tons," Woods said.
Currently, the company operates five CNG-powered collection vehicles in Houston’s north suburban communities and expects to deploy an additional 35 in the area by the end of 2012.
The public fueling station will refuel the company’s local fleet and sell CNG to commercial fleets.
Waste Management is the a provider of comprehensive waste management services in North America.
