One of the more lasting contributions we can make in our community is to protect the environment by reducing ozone-forming emissions wherever possible. These trucks run cleaner and quieter, and will help to make the local environment healthier for future generations. —Michael Murphy, general manager of Republic Services.

So, we focus significant energy on solar climate intervention, or sunlight reflection.
