scope:
The waste and recycling collection industry operates a fleet of more than 100,000 collection trucks. This fleet is being transformed through the use of alternative fuels, especially natural gas. These unique heavy-duty trucks historically use diesel fuel. If the entire fleet was to switch to alternative fuels, it could reduce diesel fuel consumption by as much as two billion gallons a year, leading to dramatically reduced emissions
