WM is North America’s leading provider of comprehensive environmental solutions with sustainability central to its business. For more than 50 years, WM has played an essential role in keeping communities clean and safe, with many of its customers SWANA members. Across the US and Canada, WM has the largest disposal network and collection fleet, is the largest recycler, and is a leader in the beneficial use of landfill gas, with a growing network of renewable natural gas plants and an established portfolio of landfill gas-to-electricity plants, as well as the largest heavy-duty natural gas truck fleet in the industry.
