CleanScapes is thrilled to announce the arrival of the Puget Sound's first "hybrid" garbage trucks. The trucks, technically called Hydraulic Launch Assist (HLA) vehicles, store energy captured when breaking and use it for future acceleration. This technology translates to up to 30% fuel savings and cleaner air for the communities we serve. Want to learn more? Come see the new trucks on Tuesday, April 24th at Des Moines City Hall at our ribbon cutting event.
