Dive Brief:

• Waste Management's Grand Central Sanitary landfill has announced that it will install a compressed natural gas filling station in Plainfield Township, Pennsylvania. The station will be available for public-use. 
• Plans for the station include 52 private time-fill pumps for a fleet, in addition to customers, who can use a hose to fill up vehicles. 
• The project is awaiting approval from the zoning hearing board. The plans were submitted last week. 

Dive Insight:

Car dealerships in the area said there is little to no interest in natural gas-powered vehicles from local consumers. Waste Management currently has over 2,700 compressed natural gas trucks in its fleet, and expects to add enough to transform 80% of its fleet to CNG-powered vehicles by 2020. It has been transitioning fleets throughout the country into CNG vehicles, including a recent announcement to replace 40 trucks in Baton Rouge with natural gas, and the addition of over 20 trucks to its Florida and Washington fleets.
