We care about kids.
We want the best for them.
We raise ours here, too.
The NEW Waste Management
There’s a good reason why we care about the kids in this
community; we raise ours here, too.
As an integral part of this community, the NEW Waste
Management partners with local schools by providing videos,
CDs and other teaching tools that help students of all ages
better understand our environment and the steps we can all
take to safeguard it for generations to come.
We show them how state-of-the-art engineering techniques
help us safely maintain and restore landfills into usable green
spaces. How we use advanced optical sorting technologies to
efficiently recycle plastics and glass. And how we transform
common waste products into uncommonly clean energy that
powers homes and businesses.
We believe our educational efforts are critical to helping us
preserve a healthy environment for the future. It’s another way
we’re making a difference. One community at a time.
From everyday collection to environmental protection, look to
the NEW Waste Management.
