Ontario’s first “poo-powered” recycling and garbage truck is on the road.

It’s not running on diesel, natural gas, or ethanol, it is running on the methane produced from a Middlesex County dairy farm.

Instead of using 20 litres of diesel a day, this refuse collector is burning methane, captured from the manure produced from 100 cows. Capturing and reusing that methane, instead of letting it float into the atmosphere, helps to make Bluewater Recycling Association’s manure-powered garbage truck the first carbon negative waste truck in all of Ontario.

Enbridge is already working with other garbage and recycling collectors in Ontario to get them on board and join Bluewater in their poo-power project.
