To reduce our direct Scope 1 and 2 emissions 42% by 2032 
using a 2021 base year
$825 investment in RNG. With this investment, we expect that 65% of landfill gas 
will be captured for beneficial reuse, an anticipated 
increase of 600% at WM-owned RNG plants, over the 
next four years. This will generate enough renewable 
energy to supply the equivalent of 1 million North 
American homes. Our investment is anticipated to 
allow WM to fuel our entire natural gas fleet with 
RNG by 2026

Develop a system for measuring fugitive emissions by 2025. 

By the end of 2021, 57% of WM’s collection fleet had been transitioned to CNG vehicles, 
saving 8000 gallons of diesel fuel per year and comprising the largest heavy-duty 
natural gas fleet of its kind in North America. In 2021, 47% of fuel for our collection fleet was from a 
renewable source. Our investment in RNG facilities will allow WM to fuel our entire natural gas fleet 
with RNG by 2026 - will lead to an 80% reduction in co2 emissions.
