WORCESTER is to get six new quieter and more environmentally friendly bin lorries at a cost of nearly £1 million.
Bins in the city will now be emptied using the new cleaner and greener lorries which cost Worcester City Council £900,000.
The new vehicles are cheaper to run and will have less impact on the environment with fuel-efficient engines and electric bin lifts which run more quietly and use less energy.
Cllr Andrew Roberts, cabinet member for cleaner and greener, said: "These new vehicles will make a real contribution to Worcester becoming a cleaner and greener city, and will reduce costs to taxpayers over time too."
