According to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the average U.S. citizen
generates 4.5 pounds of waste
every day. Waste Management is
not only the largest collector of
waste, but the largest recycler as
well. Some of the waste we
collect is used in our waste-to-
energy plants to generate
electricity. Even the waste that
ends up in our landfills is put to
good use, as the gas that
naturally occurs in the landfill is
recovered for use as a renewable
energy source at more than 100
of our sites. By performing all
these services in a safe and
responsible manner, we demonstrate our commitment to the healthy
functioning of our communities and our country.
With 300 landfills and waste-to-energy facilities across the country,
our company has the opportunity and responsibility to contribute to the
future welfare of the communities surrounding these sites. As the leading
provider of waste services in North America, Waste Management provides
innovative services that we believe are changing the world’s perception of
a landfill. Through our collection and disposal processes, we remove waste,
recycle it, extract energy, create fuel, reduce its volume, and return
materials to nature in an environmentally sound manner. As a good
neighbor working for the welfare of our communities, we want to manage
waste with the highest levels of integrity and safety and be able to say,
“Isn’t this the way you want your waste handled? Don’t you want a cleaner,
greener world with parks and land where your grandchildren can play?”
