DRIVING GARBAGE COSTS: STATE’S MANDATE TO PURCHASE COMPOST
Proposed rate hike includes, for first time, charges to pay for solid waste truck wear & tear on streets
solid waste trucks fuel
Two Manteca solid waste trucks powered by compressed natural gas the city makes from methane gas from the wastewater treatment plant are shown being fueled.
