Waste Management pioneers environmentally sustainable solutions to waste needs. Last year, we recycled enough paper to save 41 million trees and supplied enough waste-based energy to replace more than 14 million barrels of oil.

According to CEO David Steiner,

We don’t just dispose of garbage. We manage the waste created by our communities, and we bring environmental solutions to our neighborhoods. We’re a company that protects and enhances the environment through what we do each and every day. Waste Management is committed to deliver lasting solutions to the environmental challenges that face us today and in the future.

Waste Management has made a commitment to reach the following goals by the year 2020:

• Double our waste based energy production – energy sufficient to power more than two million homes

• Increase the volume of recyclable materials we process from 8 million to over 20 million tons

• Invest in cleaner technologies to increase fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15%

• Increase the number of our facilities that are certified as wildlife habitats from 24 to 100 and increase our land set aside for conservation and wildlife habitat from 17,000 to 25,000 acres
