    VANCOUVER, June 20 /CNW/ - Isuzu Commercial Truck of America has
announced 1-800-GOT-JUNK? will be the first fleet to test biodiesel fuel in
its trucks.
    For six months, 10 junk-removal trucks will operate on the cleaner
burning fuel in various climate zones across Canada and the United States. The
companies anticipate making 1-800-GOT-JUNK? the first Isuzu-approved fleet to
switch exclusively to biofuel. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? has more than 1,000 Isuzu
N-Series and GMC W-Series trucks in its fleet.

1-800-GOT-JUNK? Founder and CEO, Brian Scudamore. "We have always had a strong
environmental conscience and have prided ourselves on cutting-edge recycling
efforts. The growth of our business means it's time to take environmental
initiatives to the next level."
    The first 1-800-GOT-JUNK? biodiesel truck was unveiled last month at the
Pacific Economic Summit. In a keynote address California governor, Arnold
Schwarzenegger remarked that the company's biodiesel program, "...Would cut
greenhouse gas emissions by 30 to 40 percent."
