Advanced Landfill Technology Ensures Environmental Integrity.

For years, Waste Management has been the nation's leader in landfill design, construction and operations. With the largest network of landfills in the industry, Waste Management employs state-of-the-art landfill technology, including advanced liners, leachate collection systems, ground water monitoring and gas control equipment that ensures environmental integrity. Designed and operated under highly regulated and prescribed procedures, each facility is engineered to protect surface water and air quality through the highest environmental controls. Each site is carefully maintained to meet or exceed state and local regulations.

Policies Ensure Long-Term Environmental Protection.

Even when a Waste Management landfill is no longer in operation, we continue to monitor soil and groundwater conditions to ensure environmental integrity is maintained. Advanced landfill construction, combined with regular inspections, ensures Waste Management's disposal sites will continue to exist in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem, and that customers are protected from long-term liabilities.

After a landfill is closed, Waste Management continues to monitor soil and water quality to ensure environmental integrity. Closed landfills have been converted to valuable community assets, including nature preserves, public recreation areas, baseball fields and golf courses.
