- 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.

Last month, the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) recognized our landfill for outstanding environmental stewardship and community leadership. The "Wildlife at Work" is a 2-year certification program that companies must demonstrate a long-term commitment to wildlife habitat enhancement programs.
The Pollinator Garden, located at the SVLRC, is a two-acre facility and hiking trail that is available for groups (including scout troops, school groups and Mommy and Me groups) to come out and learn about pollination, eco-systems, and the importance of recycling.
