About us

Waste Management is the largest environmental solutions provider in North America, serving more than 20 million customers in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. As part of our strategy, we are committed to developing new waste solutions that can help communities and organizations achieve their green goals, including zero waste. With the largest network of recycling facilities, transfer stations and landfills in the industry, our entire business can adapt to meet the needs of every distinct customer group. In 2012, we worked with over 100 Fortune 500 companies and helped over 150 different communities become greener. Waste Management is also a renewable energy provider, producing more than twice the amount of renewable electricity than the entire US solar industry. One of the ways we do this is by recovering the naturally occurring gas inside landfills to generate electricity, called landfill-gas-to-energy. By the end of 2012, we operated over 138 beneficial-use landfill-gas projects, producing enough energy to power nearly 500,000 homes. As North America’s largest residential recycler, we expect to manage more than 20 million tons every year by 2020, up from the more than 12 million tons we handled in 2012. Part of that will come from expanding on proven technology to make recycling easier for consumers. Another part will be investing in future technologies, like converting organic waste from the materials stream to make high-end compost for local growers

They are adequate and they do a good job. Like everybody else I wish the price was lower but I give them a B rating for price. I will keep using them because they are the only one in the area unless we wanted to take it ourself.
Description of Work: I use Waste Management for garbage pick up and I pay $70.00 a month. They are the only ones here.

We don't have a choice but they have been fine. The come once in every two weeks for garbage collection because the city does it that way. The yard waste gets picked up once a week but the recycle and garbage gets picked up once in every two weeks. They are billed through the city.
Description of Work: We use Waste Management for garbage collection.

They are adequate for what they do. Sometimes they do not pick up everything. The weight limit is fifty pounds, and if they think it is too heavy they leave it.
