- Our renewable energy projects create enough energy to power nearly 1 million homes and save the equivalent of more than 13 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
- Waste Management’s landfills provide more than 21,000 acres of protected habitat for wildlife. The Simi Valley Landfill is one of 49 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.
- In California, we operate the largest fleet of clean natural gas collection vehicles and have reduced air emissions by 247 tons.

Ricky Ontiveros recently joined Waste Management as a gas technician at the Simi Valley Landfill and Recycling Center.
As a gas technician, Ricky monitors, samples and regulates the more than 150 gas wells throughout the site. An advanced landfill gas monitoring and recovery system is just one of many environmental programs in place at SV Landfill. A portion of the methane gas is converted into green energy supplying the landfill site with its electrical needs and the local grid with enough electricity to power 2,500 homes locally.
Outside of WM, Ricky enjoys playing sports, working out, hanging out with friends and going anywhere outdoors.
Welcome to the WM Ventura team, Ricky!
