WM Sets Date for Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Earnings Call

Key Terms

renewable natural gas technical

Renewable natural gas is methane captured from organic waste—like landfills, farms, or wastewater—and cleaned to the same quality as conventional pipeline gas so it can be used for heating, electricity, or vehicle fuel. Investors care because it turns waste into a revenue-generating commodity, can qualify for carbon credits or government incentives, and can reduce a company's emissions profile, affecting long-term costs, regulatory risk, and market demand much like converting trash into sellable fuel.

landfill gas-to-electricity technical

A landfill gas-to-electricity project captures the gas released as trash breaks down—mainly methane—and burns it in engines or turbines to generate electricity, turning waste into usable power much like collecting wood smoke to run a stove. Investors care because these projects can create steady revenue from selling power and environmental credits, lower landfill liability and energy costs, and qualify for regulatory incentives, though they require upfront investment and ongoing maintenance.

regulated medical waste medical

Regulated medical waste is the used or contaminated materials from healthcare settings—such as needles, blood-soaked dressings, lab samples, and discarded surgical tools—that laws require to be handled, transported and destroyed in special ways to prevent infection and environmental harm. For investors it matters because compliance drives operating costs, disposal liabilities and legal or reputational risk for hospitals, labs and waste-management firms, much like how special handling of hazardous household trash affects a waste hauler’s expenses and fines.

secure information destruction technical

Secure information destruction is the deliberate and verifiable removal of sensitive data or physical records so they cannot be reconstructed or recovered—think shredding and burning a file so no one can reassemble it. For investors, it matters because strong practices cut the risk of costly data breaches, regulatory fines and reputational damage, and signal that a company manages legal and operational risks responsibly.
