New waste and recycling vehicles

The city of Sunnyvale and Specialty Solid Waste & Recycling Company announced the arrival of a fleet of 24 new compressed natural gas vehicles for refuse collection and a new, publicly available natural gas fueling station. The fuel, considered to be one of the cleanest burning, will help lower emissions, which contribute to air pollution.
