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 24,000 acres of protected habitat for wildlife. The Simi Valley Landfill is one of 73 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.
