ECUA It Gets Better!…
ECUA Reduced Fuel Costs Equates to Lower Collection Fees… The Program delivers fuel and maintenance cost-savings that ultimately translate into additional savings for ECUA customers. Chris Strippelhoff Vice President Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia “I especially latched onto the information that reduced fuel costs, which translates into reducing fees for recycling and/or yard waste collection. This is a huge PR opportunity for our Member’s employing CNG in their waste services fleets.”
