San Mateo County, Calif.-based Allied Waste will roll out its new green initiative Thursday with the announcement of a major change: Its entire 225-truck fleet will switch to locally sourced biodiesel. The move is expected to replace 80,000 gallons of petroleum diesel to B20 on a monthly basis.

State and local officials will join Allied Waste officials to send off the company's first dozen biodiesel-powered waste and recycling trucks Thursday in San Carlos, Calif.
