- 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.

When mother of 4-year old twins Grant and Avery, Kristi, contacted us for a tour with these photos - how could we refuse?
Grant "knows more about recycling than I ever thought possible," his mother said. "They get so excited when trash day arrives. Every week they run to the window and even have asked if they can skip school so they can wait for the trash truck."
For Halloween, Grant gave "very specific instructions" about how his trash truck costume was to be made. The Phillips family toured the facility and the kids really enjoyed seeing the trash trucks and the big compactors in action.
Needless to say, everyone enjoyed the tour immensely. Welcome to the Waste Management crew, Phillips Family; glad to have you aboard and remember to keep recycling!
