Does Waste Management have a policy for recycling waste?
Waste Management has been at the forefront of waste diversion and recycling efforts in the National Capital Region. From the region’s first recycling program, to the proposed new program to reduce organics going to the landfill, Waste Management has been a leading proponent of diversion programs. At the same time, the company’s role in waste reduction and diversion is dependent on the requests of existing and potential customers, and the services they request. New technologies – such as energy from waste projects – could increase waste diversion efforts and could improve the region’s waste management program. In line with the requests from the city to provide energy alternatives in the coming years, Waste Management is interested in considering options to a traditional landfill operation only.
