Veg oil to run refuse trucks
VEGETABLE oil will be used to power Islington Council’s new recycling and refuse vehicles. Four 26-tonne trucks are being introduced to the council’s fleet. The trucks run on used vegetable oil – a waste product collected from the borough and surrounding areas – which is converted into fuel to achieve carbon reductions of up to 91 per cent. Councillor Greg Foxsmith, executive member for the environment, said: “The environmental benefits of our new vehicles add to the huge inroads we are already making in the fight against climate change.” |
