WM
Description
At WM, we believe in building a better world—one where communities are thriving, materials are repurposed, energy is renewable, and the planet is better protected for future generations. For us at WM, that means helping to create opportunities through local collaborations, driving innovation in sustainability, and putting our customers at the center of everything we do.
That’s why we work side by side with municipalities to provide practical, community-focused solutions intended to reduce waste, lower emissions, and expand access to recycling—all while helping to enhance the quality of life for the residents they serve.
Helping Cities Lead with Sustainability
• Renewable Energy Commitment
WM is investing $1.6 billion between 2022 and 2026 in renewable energy infrastructure, resulting in 20 new renewable natural gas facilities that convert landfill gas into clean energy. This supports cities in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supports the larger energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable resources.
• Recycling Infrastructure Investment
WM is investing over $1.4 billion to modernize recycling infrastructure, resulting in nearly 40 new or upgraded recycling facilities nationwide by 2026. With a goal to recover 25 million tons of material annually by 2030 and investing in state-of-the-art technology, we’re enhancing the quality and quantity of materials captured, supporting city diversion and climate goals.
• Circular Economy Leadership
WM helps cities unlock the value of their waste streams by collecting, sorting and baling fiber, plastic, organics and other recyclable commodities to be transformed into new products.
WM also aids cities in building more resilient communities by expanding access to environmental education and empowering residents through learning initiatives, enhancing city livability by working to safeguard green spaces—over 13,500 acres protected through Wildlife Habitat Council Certified Programs—and helps cities close critical service gaps by delivering essential resources, especially in times of need.
WM is proud to work together with municipalities to turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities.
