At a press conference in late June the new compressed natural gas (CNG) recycling truck was unveiled by Mayor Kiss, DPW Staff and President of J&B International of Colchester , the supplier. The purchase price of the CNG is higher than a standard diesel, but the environmental and human health benefits include lower greenhouse gas emissions, less air pollution, quieter operation and a truck powered by CNG with fuel costs less than diesel. This is the first CNG recycling truck in Vermont.
