By replacing the waste fleet – which currently accounts for nearly half of the council’s carbon footprint – the changes will make recycling services more dependable while driving progress toward its ambitious goal of cutting emissions by 80% by 2030.
With the fleet of 31 vehicles reaching the end of its operational life, the council will replace it with cleaner, greener alternatives. This includes introducing its first electric vehicle to test EV performance across the district and adopting Hydro-treated Vegetable Oil (HVO).
