(PASCO, WA) -- Basin Disposal Inc.
is proud to announce the conversion of its solid waste collection fleet from
diesel to natural gas powered engines. This investment in natural gas fueling
will provide long term rate stability to Basin Disposal customers, as well as
provide access to other commercial fleets, local businesses and service
providers that choose to power their vehicles with natural gas. The new
business line to provide natural gas will be called Commercial Fueling, LLC.
In addition to the new business line, Basin
Disposal is in the process of converting 7 of their 70+ fleet vehicles that are
running on diesel fuel to natural gas fuel. “I’m doing this for several
reasons including the fact that natural gas is a lower cost fuel, it will
provide cost stability and less price fluctuation for my customers in the long
run, and natural gas fuel has about half the emissions as diesel fuel. I
feel it’s my duty to help keep stable prices for my customers and to help lower
carbon emissions in our region and our state,” stated Darrick Dietrich, owner
and CEO of Basin Disposal, Inc.
“This conversion to natural gas is an
investment in our community. The investment will allow access to lower
cost fuel for our businesses and service providers allowing more dollars to
stay in the region. As utility providers, it is our duty to deliver the best
value to our customers, while meeting their service expectations.”
Please join Basin Disposal, the Pasco Chamber
of Commerce and Cascade Natural Gas on Friday, July 11th from 11:00
a.m. to 1:00 p.m., 2021 N. Commercial Drive, Pasco, WA for a ribbon cutting and
the launch of this new business.
