Description

Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss unveils the City’s new compressed natural gas (CNG) recycling truck. Mayor Kiss will be joined by DPW staff and Ed Cleary, president of J&B International of Colchester, the truck supplier. At a cost of $226,000 the purchase price of a CNG truck is higher than a standard diesel. But, the use of CNG has tangible environmental benefits especially for a truck that is always in use and on the road. Benefits include substantially lower greenhouse gas emissions, less air pollution, quieter operation and a truck powered by CNG with fuel costs less than diesel. Burlington’s CNG recycling truck is the first in Vermont. Acquisition of the truck is part of DPW and the City’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint guided by the Burlington Climate Action Plan.
