All debris box trucks operated by Norcal Waste Systems of San Mateo County run on alternative fuel (either liquefied natural gas or biodiesel).
The biodiesel is B-20, a blended fuel including 20 percent biodiesel made from vegetable oil and 80 percent low-sulfur diesel.

Because we use alternative fuels, equip our trucks with superior catalytic converters, and maintain our fleet in good condition the overall emissions will measure well below legal limits.
