Given their concerted efforts to convert their fleet, it is getting difficult to keep track of all the Waste Management CNG announcements.  

Today the company announced the construction of compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling facility in the Columbus, Ohio area.  The facility is expected to be completed in the coming month and the first 25 CNG trucks will arrive in late summer.  This will be the first Waste Management fleet in Ohio.  

"This new fueling facility will give us the direct capability to fuel a CNG fleet in the Columbus area, and with the CNG fleet, we'll lower our fleet emissions, helping to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. This demonstrates our commitment to being a positive environmental contributor to the communities we serve," said Frank Fello, Senior District Manager for Waste Management of Ohio in a press release. "The transitioning of our 55 trucks to CNG fits within our sustainability goals and our company's overall strategy to minimize our environmental footprint," Fello added.
