State of the Art Recycling℠
As we continue to reinvent what's possible at WM and beyond, we’re planning to invest over $1.4B in new and upgraded recycling facilities from 2022 to 2026.
Recycling Better, Together
WM and Dow are rolling out a bold new collaboration to improve residential recycling for hard-to-recycle plastic films by allowing consumers in select markets to recycle these materials directly in their curbside recycling.
Breaking Ground in South Florida
WM has announced plans to invest $75 million to construct a new WM Recycling South Florida facility. The state-of-the-art, 127,000-square-foot recycling facility will be built on a 12-acre parcel adjacent to WM’s existing Reuter Recycling Facility in Pembroke Pines.
