- Waste Management’s landfills provide more than 24,000 acres of protected habitat for wildlife. The Simi Valley Landfill is one of 73 certified sites by the Wildlife Habitat Council.
- WM's North American operations recycled enough paper and cardboard in one year
to save 41 million trees.

by 247 tons.

As many of you know, the Simi Valley Landfill and Recycling Center is currently undergoing the review process of our proposed Modernization and Expansion project. This month, we are proud to announce that both the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Ventura County Economic Development Association (VCEDA) submitted letters supporting our project.
Leigh Nixon, President and CEO of the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce, recently stated: “The board’s decision to support the project focused on the business aspect of what the project brings to the business community. Hot topics for the business community today is keeping jobs here in Simi Valley and contributing to the local economy and WM’s project fulfills those needs.”
President and CEO of VCEDA Bill Burrato added: “Waste Management is to be commended for a project design that incorporates best practices in environmental sustainability, recycling and disposal services. We believe this project will be a vital asset in meeting the waste management needs of Ventura County now and well into the future.”
We hope you that we have your support, as well. To show your support of WM’s project, please click here. If you have any questions or concerns – or would like to take a tour of our facility – please contact our Community Relations Manager, Lisa Hemenway, at (805) 581-1746.
