Waste Management - GI Industries - Keeping Our Communities Clean

Our renewable energy projects create enough energy to power nearly 1 million homes and save the equivalent of more than 14 million barrels of oil per year.

The Simi Landfill and Recycling Center alone powers the equivalent of 2,500 homes each day with two landfill gas-to-energy generators using methane gas.

WM's North American operations recycled enough paper in one year to save 41 million trees.

In California, we operate the largest fleet of clean natural gas collection vehicles and have reduced air emissions by 247 tons.

New C&D Recycling Facility

To expand the recycling options available at the Simi Valley Landfill, Waste Management recently opened a construction and demolition recycling facility. This facility will help Simi Valley and Ventura County to meet tough state laws that require every city and county in California to divert at least 50 percent of its waste from landfills.

Recycling bulky construction and demolition waste is crucial to meeting diversion requirements. In unincorporated parts of Ventura County, commercial and demolition projects are required to divert at least 60 percent of their waste.

The new facility accepts co-mingled C&D waste that will be sorted and recycled. Items accepted will include non-hazardous materials such as:

Appliances
Concrete
Dirt
Drywall
Metal
Roofing materials
Tile
