Waste Management, Inc. (WM) is the largest provider of comprehensive waste management and environmental services in North America, serving over 21 million residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal customers. The company operates through a network of landfills, recycling facilities, transfer stations, and collection services, positioning itself as a leader in sustainable waste solutions. WM’s vertically integrated model ensures control over the entire waste lifecycle, from collection to disposal, providing cost efficiencies and operational reliability. Its strong brand recognition, extensive infrastructure, and focus on environmental sustainability (e.g., landfill gas-to-energy projects) differentiate it from competitors.
Invests in automation (e.g., AI-powered sorting systems), circular economy initiatives (e.g., advanced recycling technologies), and sustainability projects (e.g., carbon capture at landfills). Holds numerous patents in waste processing and emissions reduction.
WM is a resilient, cash-generative business with a dominant market position and strategic focus on sustainability. Its predictable revenue streams (80% under long-term contracts) and pricing power mitigate cyclical risks. However, regulatory headwinds and capex intensity warrant monitoring. Attractive for dividend growth investors (2% yield, 20+ years of increases) and ESG-focused portfolios.
WM SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q), EPA regulatory documents, industry reports (Waste Business Journal), earnings call transcripts.
