We know that when we focus on our people first, they put our customers and communities first by stepping up to help those in need. WM employees engage in philanthropic programs, educational and conservation initiatives, food drives, school supply drives and more.
Employee Impact
From the front lines to waste facilities to our corporate offices, our people are the driving force behind our exemplary service to customers and communities.

Being Good Neighbors
People of WM: Mike Holzschuh
Meet the one and only Mike Holzschuh, who works for WM’s sustainability services. Mike’s first job on an oil spill was to chase down petrol-soaked birds, an experience that inspired his career in the environmental business. Mike has worked across the globe - destinations many other companies will not serve. Join Mike in Alaska for a glimpse into just one of his projects and hear how Mike and his team bring places “back to life.”
WM Driver: Billy Shelby
Our drivers are part of the fabric of the communities they serve. We show up on time, help keep your communities clean and watch out for the residents. Meet Billy, just one of our many drivers going above and beyond for our customers.
Waste Watch
As the eyes and ears of early mornings and mid-days, many of our drivers are professionally trained via our Waste Watch program to spot questionable situations on their routes.
Over the years, our essential workers have saved lives, returned dogs and helped neighbors in need. Not only do our teams keep our streets clean and green, they keep them safe and secure.
