Waste Management - GI Industries - Keeping Our Communities Clean

Waste Management, combined with its wholly owned subsidiary Recycle America (WMRA), is North America’s largest recycler, recycling enough paper last year to save more than 41 million trees.

By recycling more than 57,000 tons of steel cans, WM reduces greenhouse gasses equivalent to taking more than 21,000 cars off the road each year.

Waste Management’s landfills provide more than 17,000 acres of protected habitat for wildlife, and 15 are certified by the Wildlife Habitat Council.

By processing 21 million pounds of e-scrap, WM keeps 313,000 monitors/TVs and 175,000 CPU hard drives from being disposed in landfills.

WM Assists with Habitat for Humanity’s Build in Simi Valley

Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County recently kicked off a three-house building project at the intersection of Royal and Sequoia Avenues in Simi Valley. This is Habitat’s first build in Simi Valley and to assist with the project, Waste Management donated four large roll-off containers that were used to recycle the brush and trees cleared from the build site.

Once the construction begins, the debris that will be collected from the building sites will be brought to the Simi Valley Landfill and Recycling Center and processed free of charge. Much of the construction waste, such as aluminum, asphalt, concrete, plastic rebar, steel and wood, will be recycled, in order to help reduce the environmental impact of the construction process.
