Waste Management, Inc. (Houston, TX) opened a new public-access compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station in Mesa, AZ, just east of Phoenix and debuted its new fleet of 26 CNG-powered waste collection vehicles to serve the market, including Chandler (to the south). The Clean N' Green public fueling station was built in partnership with fuel distributor PetroCard Inc (Kent, WA). The two opened a similar facility earlier this month in Louisville, KY.

Waste Management announced earlier this year that 90 percent of the company's new fleet purchases over the next five years will be for CNG vehicles as the company expands its fleet of CNG vehicles to 30,000 from its present number of 1,700.
