HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2015-- Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WM) announced today that its previously announced cash tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on February 24, 2015.

Waste Management expects to accept for payment all notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the tender offer and expects to make payment for the notes, including notes delivered in accordance with the guaranteed delivery procedures, in same-day funds on February 27, 2015.
