This dramatic improvement
is the result of a stringent
preventive maintenance
program for our vehicles
and a thorough training
program for our nearly
4,000 technicians and front-
line managers. We also
intensified pre- and post-trip
inspections, which help
identify and prevent
equipment failure before it
occurs. These maintenance
improvements represent
annual savings of millions of
dollars in direct costs and
the avoidance of lost labor,
time, and towing.
As more companies and municipalities embrace the concept of
comprehensive waste solutions, Waste Management is there, with a
full range of services backed by decades of expertise and experience.
Through Waste Management’s Upstream group, we are uniquely
positioned to help large regional and national customers meet their
recycling, environmental, and sustainability goals. Upstream incorporates
waste reduction, reuse, and recycling into a total waste strategy.
Working closely with customers, we help determine their root sources and
causes of waste and pollution, and then develop a multifaceted strategy that
can provide a complete closed loop—from collecting the waste to providing
landfill gas for use as power in the customer’s own facility. Since 2001,
Upstream’s expertise has saved customers nearly $50 million while
enhancing their environmental stewardship.
