LONGWOOD, FL – April 3rd – Waste Pro has officially opened the pumps to the public at their brand new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling station in Palm Coast, FL. TECO Peoples Gas Program Manager, Kenneth Hernandez, was the station’s first customer. Hernandez expressed his excitement at having the availability of another CNG fueling station in the area.

With the capability to fast fill large commercial services vehicles in addition to smaller personal vehicles, the station is the first of its kind in the area. It is estimated that there are only approximately 12 to 15 public CNG stations in the state of Florida that are open for fueling use in private and commercial vehicles. Waste Pro is converting its garbage truck fleet to the environmentally friendly CNG powered trucks.

As part of Waste Pro’s commitment to the more readily available and cost effective CNG fueling alternative, the Palm Coast station is one of three fueling stations Waste Pro has constructed in Florida since 2012 , but is the only one open to the public. The CNG Fueling Station is open for self-service Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. and accepts all major credit cards. It is located at 400 South Bay Street in Bunnell.

Waste Pro is one of this country’s fastest growing privately owned solid waste collection, recycling, processing and disposal companies, operating in eight southeastern states. Serving more than two million customers from over 500 operating locations, Waste Pro USA is headquartered in Longwood, Florida and maintains more than 250 exclusive municipal contracts and franchises.
