Our street cleansing vehicles for Horsham town centre will deliver a reduction in carbon emissions thanks to our new all-electric sweepers, replacing our previous diesel vehicles.
Our two highway sweepers have also been refurbished to run on hydro-treated vegetable oil; another initiative that will reduce our carbon emissions.
The Council’s Cabinet Member for Environmental Health, Recycling and Waste Cllr Jay Mercer, commented on the new fleet:
"Not only will they improve air quality, but they will also deliver a reduction in noise pollution which is especially important for residents in the town centre as they operate in the early hours of the morning.
“[This is] Another key step for us in achieving our vision for a greener, cleaner environment for the District."
