"Forward-thinking" is a large part of who we are. We have placed emphasis on research for alternatives such as Hybrid Technologies and BioDiesel that will help us reduce our dependency on petroleum diesel. In order to continue with our innovative operational strategies, Western is proud to announce the introduction of "Ultra-low Sulfur" diesel engines in our refuse fleet. Harmful pollution from heavy-duty highway vehicles is reduced by more than 90 percent. Western has also started to blend BioDiesel with Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel to take an active role in becoming a more "Green" and environmentally conscious organization.

We prefer to lead by example. Becoming an early adopter for the BioDiesel initiative furthers our committment to operational responsibility. You deserve the best. An effort like BioDiesel helps us live up to such a reputation. To learn more about BioDiesel and its benefits for our environment and domestic economy, visit http://www.biodiesel.org.
