Refuse Collection in Lincoln Park – Natural Gas Trucks Only
The Borough of Lincoln Park has recently contracted with Suburban Disposal (Roselle) of Fairfield, NJ to collect refuse through July 30, 2022 using only trucks running on compressed Natural Gas (CNG). Powered by Natural Gas instead of diesel fuel, the trucks will improve air quality in Lincoln Park, as well as reduce noise and the carbon footprint, enhancing sustainability. The CNG trucks will be used in the same way as diesel trucks with no changes to the refuse collection services or the daily driving routes
