About
Waste Management is North America's leading provider of integrated environmental solutions. We partner with our customers and communities to manage and reduce waste from collection to disposal while recovering valuable resources and creating clean, renewable energy.
Why we're Green
Despite periodic dips in recycling and green energy prices, we continue to develop new ways to convert waste into valuable resources. We are committed to reinventing our business model and re-envisioning the nature of waste itself. In the Pacific Northwest, we collect naturally occurring methane gas from our landfills and turn it into electricity; some is returned to Seattle City Light, where it powers 10,000 homes in Seattle.
