The purchase of the new vehicles were funded in part through a nearly $700,000 grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).
The facility, dubbed the River City project, will be built at an investment of $90 million, and will be located in Green Cove Springs, just south of Jacksonville.
The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) will distribute $7.5 million in grants to municipalities to support recycling and waste diversion at a local level.
