LONGWOOD, FL–November 11, 2013— Waste Pro announces the opening of two Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling facilities in Palm Coast and Daytona Beach, Florida and the construction start of a CNG complex in Jacksonville, Florida.
The Daytona and Palm Coast stations have the capacity to time-fill 26 CNG solid waste collection trucks, with expansion capabilities to fuel as many as 45 trucks simultaneously. With a slightly larger system, the Jacksonville location is able to time-fill 50 trucks, with the capability to expand to handle upwards of 80 trucks and is expected to be completed in early 2014.
Waste Pro’s first compressed natural gas fueling facility officially opened its doors in 2012 in Ft. Pierce, FL, as the first phase of Waste Pro’s $100 million total investment towards the transition to the environmentally friendly and domestically available CNG fuel, which was announced in late 2012.
Partnering with Waste Pro in the design and construction of these state of the art facilities were Mansfield Gas Equipment Services and J.R. Leonard Construction Company/CNG Services Group.
