Waste Management Opens 100th Natural Gas Fueling Station

August 9, 2017

Company Celebrates 6,000 Natural Gas Trucks, the Largest Heavy-Duty
Fleet of its Kind in North America

OKLAHOMA CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Waste Management (NYSE:WM) announced today a significant milestone in
its natural gas fleet journey, opening its 100th natural gas
fueling station. At a ceremony in Oklahoma City, industry
representatives, local and state officials joined the company to
dedicate the fueling station. The company also celebrated a significant
milestone of operating 6,000 natural gas trucks, which is the largest
heavy-duty fleet of its kind in North America.


“Waste Management’s mission is to maximize resource value, while
minimizing environmental impact so that our customers, our company, our
economy and our environment can thrive,” said Jim Trevathan, Waste
Management executive vice president and chief operating officer.
“Today’s milestone is certainly a stellar example of this, and we’re
proud to be the leader in the adoption of natural gas for our heavy-duty
fleet and we plan to do even more!”

As a pioneer in the use of natural gas in its fleet since the early
1990’s, Waste Management established a goal to reduce carbon dioxide
emissions and improve the efficiency of its on-road fleet efficiency by
15 percent by 2020 (based on 2007 levels). The goal was achieved in
2011, and with the increasing adoption of natural gas vehicles, the
company continues to exceed this goal each year.

Waste Management Natural Gas Fleet

Waste Management vehicles powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) emit
nearly zero particulate emissions, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and are
quieter than diesel trucks.

For every diesel truck replaced with natural gas, the company reduces
its use of diesel fuel by an average of 8,000 gallons per year along
with a reduction of 14 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year
(the equivalent of a 15 percent emissions reduction per truck).

“Waste Management invests in building our own fueling infrastructure to
refuel our vehicles, while making CNG available to other commercial
fleets and individuals,” said Marty Tufte, Waste Management corporate
fleet director.

Waste Management Natural Gas Fueling Stations

Waste Management operates 100 fueling stations in North America, with 25
open to the public. Waste Management constructs its fueling stations,
which it owns and operates, purchases the fuel, and finances the
construction of the stations.

Waste Management trucks connect to fuel systems at the station and are
refueled via a slow overnight fueling process. At the company’s public
access fueling stations, dedicated fast-fill pumps serve both commercial
and consumer vehicles.
