WM In the News
Our very successful efforts to improve emissions on our fleet of trucks have been in the news lately. In 2005, Waste Management/ GI Industries reduced more than 50 tons per year of harmful air emissions from its fleet of garbage and recycling trucks, beating the California Air Resources Board (ARB) early deadline for reducing diesel emissions.
The total reduction in air pollution includes cutting toxic emissions by nearly two tons per year and smog-forming emissions by more than 48 tons per year. The changes we made to our trucks resulted in the equivalent of taking 6,000 passenger cars off of the road.
A total of 75 of the Waste Management/ GI Industries fleet have either been permanently retired, replaced with clean burning natural gas trucks or equipped with “best available control technologies” - special pollution controls on the tailpipe - to reduce harmful emissions.
