Material is Repurposed

We provide and seek to uncover innovative waste solutions that help fuel the continuous reuse of materials.

Energy is Renewable

We leverage advanced technologies to generate energy from the waste we manage, which can power communities and reduce emissions.

Communities are Thriving

We collaborate to strengthen the resiliency of the diverse places where we live and work.

Recycling

WM was on the forefront of the recycling movement when we introduced single-stream recycling for our customers. And now we’re looking towards the future by investing in new technologies, new facilities and new markets.

Renewable Energy

Waste doesn't have to be wasted. Every day, WM's landfills are generating renewable energy and turning biomethane gas into a renewable source of fuel for the largest waste collection fleet in North America.

Modern Landfills

The scene you picture when you hear the word landfill is a thing of the past. Today’s landfills are highly-engineered, safe and often able to serve another purpose after they’ve been closed.
