The department has ordered seven electric rear loader garbage trucks, custom-made by Mack and costing more than $523,000 each, with delivery slated for the spring.

Mack showed up to the 2025 ACT Expo with a brand-new Pioneer Class 8 semi and promises of a 300 mile Electric version arriving next year.

The city commission will also consider purchasing a $425,000 side loader garbage truck, a cost that would come in the 2024 fiscal year that begins July 1, 2023.
