Our Services – Residential

Waste Collection

With more than 25 million satisfied residential customers, Waste Management is number one in providing courteous and dependable curbside collection and recycling services to homes all across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Using modern automated collection vehicles, an increasing number of which run on low-polluting alternative fuels, our safe and friendly drivers provide dependable waste and recycling collection, while our professional customer service staff is trained and standing by to answer all of your service-related questions.

Our unmatched resources allow us to offer more value-added services than any other waste hauler.

Residential Recycling

Through our WM Recycle America subsidiary, we recycle more municipal waste than any company in the industry, and our list of acceptable recyclables continues to expand.

We pioneered residential single-stream recycling, which allows customers to mix recyclable paper, plastic and glass in one bin. Residential single-stream programs have greatly increased the recycling rates, recovering as much as three times the amount of recyclable materials.

From collection to processing to marketing, Waste Management and WM Recycle America are the partners your community can count on for sustainable recycling programs such as our electronic components recycling (in partnership with Sony).

Yard Waste Collection

Yard waste recycling helps divert waste from landfills, provides communities and businesses an inexpensive source of compost and other fertilizer products, and offers a low-cost and convenient way to dispose of grass, leaves, tree limbs and other yard waste. Waste Management partners with many communities throughout the United States and Canada to provide yard waste/yard waste services to private homes.

Needle/Medical Waste Disposal

Through our partnership with Sharps Compliance, Inc., Waste Management offers a variety of sizes of mail-back sharps containers that provide community residents with a safe and economical way of disposing of small quantities of used medical waste such as used hypodermic needles, lancets, and test strips.

Each system includes a specially designed sharps container and a postage-prepaid shipping container ensuring your medical waste will be delivered safely by the U.S. Postal Service to a certified medical waste resource recovery facility.

Landfill Disposal

Waste Management's landfills utilize the latest advances in landfill technology to protect local ecosystems and ensure long-term integrity.  A dedicated environmental steward, Waste Management ensures that all of our facilities are designed, operated and maintained to meet or exceed local, state and federal regulations. 

Many Waste Management landfills offer state-of-the-art bioremediation services for detoxifying contaminated soils.  After treatment, treated soils can be safely disposed of in a landfill or transported off-site for other practical applications.
