How We Create Value
At WM, we drive value from the responsible collection and management of solid waste, recyclables, medical waste, and more. We have extensive collection operations and a vast network of post-collection assets, including landfills, transfer stations, recycling facilities, medical waste incinerators and autoclaves. We aim to be vertically integrated in each market we serve, allowing us to realize higher consolidated margins and stronger operating cash flows.
