Waste services have a strong and consistent demand. In the United States and Canada, the volume of waste produced ensures that waste disposal services will always be needed.
Waste Management is the number one provider of waste disposal services, and its nearest competitor serves less than half of the 21 million customers that WMI has, giving the company a commanding market share in the waste industry.
In addition to waste disposal and recycling, Waste Management has also invested money in ventures such as Wheelabrator and methane gas projects, which bring in additional revenue for the company.
