Why the compactors matter
While compactors may not be a headline-grabbing contribution to fighting emissions, this change has a significant impact.
By changing to electric compactors, the Streets Division will be saving 8 gallons of diesel fuel for every hour the drop-off sites are open.
This means in just one week, the electric compactors will save 356 gallons of diesel at the Sycamore drop-off site and preventing 8,000 pounds of C02 from being emitted.
