WM is committed to protecting human health and the environment. This commitment is a cornerstone of all that we do and the following principals are applicable to company operations worldwide:
Protection
We will conduct all operations in a manner that protects the environment and our employees, neighbors, and customers.
Watch to learn more about the modern landfill and protecting the environment.
Compliance
We will comply with all legal requirements and proactively implement procedures to ensure compliance.
Conservation
We will practice and promote the conservation of nature and the earth’s energy resources. The science of landfill construction has progressed remarkably from the days when waste was deposited in open, unlined “dumps.”
Today, modern landfills like Grand Central are carefully designed to contain waste and protect the environmental integrity of the surrounding area – including the air, water and soil. Our landfill incorporates advanced design features, including multi-layer liner construction, gas extraction and leachate removal systems.
WM is committed to meeting and or exceeding all regulatory requirements. Each facility is maintained carefully with a goal to meet or exceed federal, state and local regulations.
