Waste Management - GI Industries - Keeping Our Communities Clean

Clean diesel technology will eliminate air pollution from 90 percent - or about 13 million – of today's trucks and buses.

The Simi Landfill & Recycling Center powers 2,500 homes each day with two landfill gas-to-energy generators using methane gas.

Clean diesel engines and fuels will prevent nearly 8,300 premature deaths, along with tens of thousands of cases of bronchitis, asthma and other respiratory ailments.

Throughout the U.S., particulate matter will be reduced by 250,000 tons, and NOx by 4 million tons every year.

In California alone, particulate matter will be reduced by 110,000 tons, and NOx by 2.6 million tons every year.

Dear Friends,

As the leading provider of comprehensive waste and environmental services in North America, Waste Management is committed to being a good steward of the environment and to making communities safer, cleaner and better places to live and work. We provide a variety of resources to our local partners, such as product and financial support, and volunteers. Our employees are dedicated to helping keep our communities clean, green, and vibrant. It's what we do.

While our operations provide vital services to homes, schools, businesses and government facilities, it is important that we maintain a strong local commitment to every neighborhood we serve. Not only do our employees live, work and raise their families in the community, but we are privileged to work in a business that improves the health and safety of individuals and communities in a very direct way. Making communities cleaner, safer and stronger is a central focus for us.

For over 30 years, Waste Management has been both a provider and community member, promoting recycling and community organizations. Our company embraces the opportunity to be a good corporate citizen through a vigorously growing community relations program. We are involved in local community organizations. We participate in numerous community activities and initiatives. We make donations and offer support services to a broad variety of local events, and our employees participate in volunteer efforts throughout their communities.

Waste Management's business model is to deliver outstanding service and value to our customers, employees, investors and community partners. Our community outreach program is founded on the same principles as our business model and specifically focuses on innovation, service, value and partnership within the communities we serve. We expect our community partners to develop creative solutions to meet pressing needs, to provide services and programs that add value, and to have a positive impact in the community.

Given the nature of our business, and as a leader in environmental stewardship, we give priority to nonprofit organizations that focus on protecting and improving the environment, and promoting environmental education.
