There are other ways that Waste
Management reaches into communities,
including the media and the Internet.
In September, The History Channel’s new
series called “Boneyard,” which explores
what happens to things once consumers
are finished with them, featured several
Waste Management facilities in two
episodes entitled “Garbage” and
“Biowaste.”
In similar fashion, The Discovery Channel
reached out to Waste Management for an
answer to the question, “What happens
to all the trash we create each day?”
The program “How Do They Do It?”
explores the “fascinating world of
everyday stuff” that people otherwise
might not stop to think about. When the
show’s producers learned about Waste
Management’s comprehensive approach to environmental stewardship, they asked to feature our
operations in a documentary segment about trash, to be shown on British and American cable
television in early 2008.
The spotlight was on recycling in one episode of “Project Runway” called “Waste Not, Want Not,”
which featured models wearing dresses made of materials gathered from a Waste Management
recycling facility. The episode was nominated for an award in the reality program category at the 2007
Environmental Media Awards in Hollywood. Following the airing of the episode, Waste Management
purchased the dresses and auctioned them to raise money for charities around the country.
Waste Management employees
frequently lend a helping hand to
community revitalization efforts
such as Habitat for Humanity.
Visitors to the interactive "Don't Waste It" attraction at
Walt Disney World ®take a mini-truck from station to
station to learn how trash gets managed.
