White River Cleanup September 17th, 2022 8a to Noon Westside Park A new public fast-fill Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling station for the Muncie Sanitary District, the first in East Central Indiana. The station, equipped with two dispensers and four hoses, will initially serve to fuel the city's trash truck fleet – which is currently converting the entire 12-truck fleet to CNG, but is open to the public. MSD currently has 24 vehicles running on CNG. It will reduce fuel spending for the Muncie Sanitary District as well as reduce greenhouse gases when compared to comparable diesel powered vehicles by being a cleaner burning fuel. 13 Years Jason Donati Stormwater/Recycling Educator jdonati@msdeng.com Office 765-213-6450 Twitter @munciesanitary facebook/MuncieSanitaryDistrict Report-a-polluter: 765-747-4896 Blue Bag Recycling
