“Recycling is a big component of what we do,” Bowden says. “We’ll collect those materials here and get them properly sorted. We’ll be collecting residential and commercial customers’ trash and then recycling.”
A future Phase 2 of the project will incorporate the installation of compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations and a transition to a fleet of CNG trucks.
