Longwood, FL—October 17, 2011—Waste Pro USA announced today the investment of $100 million to transition their fleet of heavy trucks from diesel fuel, to cleaner burning Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).  The investment also includes construction of state of the art fueling facilities throughout the South.

“We care about the communities we serve. Our future includes a continued commitment to solar powered facilities, residential and commercial recycling, landfill diversion, and clean air.  This move will dramatically reduce emissions in our operating footprint and potentially provide fueling stations for the cities and counties we serve”, explained John J. Jennings, President and CEO of Waste Pro USA.

Waste Pro’s investment includes an initial order of 150 heavy waste collection and recycling trucks and construction of a multi-million dollar fueling complex in Fort Pierce, Florida.  Waste Pro is partnering with Clean Energy, the largest provider of natural gas fuel and facilities in this country, to design and construct the Fort Pierce complex.

“Being a privately held company enables Waste Pro to react quickly to our needs and the needs of the communities we serve.  Many of our 115 exclusive municipal customers are excited about this opportunity to play a part in the use of domestic CNG fuel and want to participate with us,” Jennings added.

CONCORD, NC – August 29, 2011 The City of Concord’s move to single stream recycling services with Waste Pro has proved to be the right one. This change in service, which now occurs on a biweekly basis and is handled by Waste Pro, has resulted in dramatic increases in total recycling tonnage being collected.

In July, the City of Concord recorded a 46 percent increase, compared to the July 2010 recycling reports, and an increase of 62 percent over June’s figures. Ease of use, provided by the new roll-out carts, and an expanded list of acceptable items, is believed by the City to have made the large increases possible. Waste Pro took over recycling collection on July 1^st.

“When the City Council approved the service improvements, they felt citizens would like the convenience of a roll-out cart and appreciate the opportunity to recycle so many additional items,” said Concord Mayor Scott Padgett. “Concord citizens have quickly learned the new system and our staff have worked hard to minimize the adjustment.”

The new user friendly, 96 gallon recycling carts are black, with a lid to minimize neighborhood littering, and can be easily wheeled to the curb. Carts may be filled with plastics labeled 1 through 7, milk and juice cartons, shredded paper, juice boxes, and aerosol cans. Carts should be placed curbside by 7 a.m., with wheels facing your home, and 2 feet of operating clearance space between carts or other objects, such as cars, fire hydrants, mailboxes, etc.

Serving more than 1.4 million customers from 68 operating locations, Waste Pro USA is headquartered in Longwood, Florida and maintains more than 108 exclusive municipal contracts and franchises and operates two of this country’s largest paper, plastic and glass recycling facilities in Atlanta and Birmingham, Alabama.
