These two trucks were blocking the front entrance of WVU's college of B&E this morning. The blue truck appears to be diesel. Both of them were running idle. I saw nobody around, the drivers were likely inside the various buildings collecting the recycling bins (we hope). Remember that it is a myth that it uses less gas to run idle for a few minutes than to turn-off and restart your engine. They were also covering a handicap parking space.
For more on the economics of recycling, I refer you to this EconTalk podcast with Mike Munger.
