TruStar Energy Builds CNG station for ‘green’ waste company

TruStar Energy announced the opening of a new large, time-fill fueling station designed and built for All Waste, one of the largest refuse haulers in Connecticut.

All Waste has a five-year plan to convert 60 of its 80 trucks to CNG. An estimated 20 refuse trucks in All Waste's fleet are currently fueled by CNG, with 10 more scheduled for delivery later this fall.

"All Waste continues to lead by example. Choosing to fuel our fleet with domestic, CNG means our trucks are cleaner and quieter. This is good for our company and for our customers," said Derek Alos, All Waste's Operations Specialist. "CNG is less volatile than gasoline and has no potential for ground or water contamination in the event of a fuel release. That's important to us."

The company adds the use of CNG-powered trucks to other environmentally friendly initiatives such as using vehicles that collect both refuse and recycling to reduce the number of trucks on the road.

"Private and municipal refuse haulers are increasingly turning to CNG to fuel their vehicles. They're looking at the ROI and the environmental benefits of this cleaner, domestically-produced fuel," said Adam Comora, President of TruStar Energy.

TruStar Energy, a subsidiary of Fortistar, has constructed numerous private and public CNG fueling stations across the country and considers itself the fastest growing CNG fueling station owner and constructor.
