North America’s Biggest Landfill Operator in Push to Turn More Trash Into Fuel
Waste Management Inc., the biggest landfill operator in North America, is tapping a growing thirst for fuel made from trash.
The Houston-based company said Thursday that it would invest $825 million over the next four years to turn methane from garbage dumps into biomethane, a natural-gas substitute. Waste Management, or WM, said the funds will bring 17 new projects online across the U.S. and Canada by 2026, adding to the 16 it currently runs.
