Recycling and reuse are a few of the ways WM reduces the amount of waste that ends up in our landfills. By recycling and reusing materials, we can conserve natural resources, save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions – all while creating new products and jobs. Recycled materials often require less energy to produce than new products from raw materials, helping to reduce emissions, combat climate change and decrease reliance on fossil fuels.
It’s not only good for the environment, but also for the economy, society and for tomorrow.
