Seal Beach's solid waste hauler has unveiled its new liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling station in north Long Beach.
Consolidated Disposal Service's new station, which is located on its 10-acre site, 2495 E. 68th St., serves 20 cities in Los Angeles and Orange counties, including Seal Beach.
Eight of Consolidated's bright blue LNG trucks will serve the Seal Beach community.
The new fueling station features one 55-foot high, 20,000-gallon LNG storage tank and two LNG dispensers.
Seal Beach Mayor David Sloan praised this milestone for Consolidated and for the city.
"This new technology allows for greater fuel efficiency in the waste hauler's fleet," he said. "The LNG trucks will be quieter and will have lower emissions. We thank Consolidated for making this commitment consistent with our city's goals of cleaner and greener."
