    Jim is part of our gas operations team that is crucial in creating a more sustainable future. Their skills allow us to collect landfill gas and convert it into pipeline-quality natural gas that can be used to power homes or allocated to fuel our own fleet. Thanks for sharing your story, Jim! #WeAreWM"

    Our drivers show up for their communities in many different ways. Manny was on his daily route in Southern California when he noticed a customer who broke her leg and needed medical attention. Thank you for jumping into action and calling for help! Your commitment to the community and our customers is admirable!

    Having spent more than 25 years in the environmental services industry at WM, I have seen our company and industry evolve with women playing pivotal roles in operations, finance, sustainability, and beyond across the sector. My passion for the work we do and the growth of women as our industry grows has only gotten stronger. That’s why it’s an honor to be named one of Waste360’s 2025 Women Who Inspire alongside four incredible leaders, women who are driving progress and reshaping our industry while driving positive impact on their teams and communities. I’m so grateful to my WM team, mentors and colleagues for their support and guidance over the years. Collaboration is the key to success, and I would not be where I am today without you. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together and excited for what’s ahead. #WeAreWM https://lnkd.in/gzhitAhz
