Thank you for the privilege of serving the community through our partnership. It's been
another exciting year with few dull moments.
2014 was a year of change at Waste Management, a year of changing the way we work.
While change is never easy, it is inevitable. Moreover, the capacity to change is critical to
success. We're working hard to create an agile culture, one that continues to change and
evolve so we can be the best materials management company in the world.
In the Pacific Northwest Area, we regularly rely on global data, best practices and industry
lessons learned, in addition to tapping the rich intellectual resources and talent throughout
Waste Management. This helps us create a stronger professional organization regionally,
with a clear path to a more capable work force and better services for our customers. Our
recent changes were part of this pathway.
First, we centralized our dispatch, billing and set up functions.
Our new centralized dispatch function is bringing a new level of professional acumen to
our logistics group. With the addition of new technology, like GPS and Onboard Computing
Systems, we have created better operational efficiencies.
This past fall, we moved our billing, set up and customer service functions into one
new location. Bringing these complimentary groups together, working from the same
location allows us to better share resources, communicate across departments more
efficiently and develop standardized processes that establish more streamlined services
for our customers. Our methodology is to move away from a regional service model to a
broader -based model that allows us to deploy greater technology and innovation across all
departments.
A subset of this work relates to our customer call centers, which WM calls Centers of
Excellence. PNW's customer calls are being fulfilled by Waste Management's Phoenix
Service Center and West Corporation's Omaha Service Center. West, a leading provider of
technology - enabled communication services, has been a WM partner since 2005.
By using large, scalable campuses, we can make investments that benefit our customers
and our employees. Attracting and retaining top talent is easier in certain areas of the
country where call center operations are prevalent; Phoenix and Omaha are two such
4,
locations. These Centers of Excellence also offer enhanced training and greater career path
options for our customer service professionals. Additionally, Waste Management's senior
customer service leadership is on -site keeping our customers' needs front and center.
In 2014, we also invested in an exciting a new program called Service Delivery
Optimization (SDO). This corporate -wide program focuses on operational excellence at
the district level. SDO is the marriage of technology with day -to -day process changes to
create a more agile, capable, confident, empowered work force.
Our SDO program includes new tools and new processes for routing and dispatching our
trucks. Involving technology, employees, and performance management coaching, SDO
transforms the way we operate our hauling districts. It standardizes the processes we use
to efficiently get our trucks out of the yard in the morning, dispatch and route them during
the day, service our customers and return our trucks and our drivers safely to the districts
at night. It's a robust program, complete with a certification protocol. We're proud of our
districts' SDO journeys.
As I mentioned, change is never easy, but it is the undeniable prerequisite to progress.
Change and progress go hand in hand. This year was no exception.
On behalf of our Public Sector Team, thank you for your partnership and collaboration in
2014. We hope you like this annual report. It summarizes our work in your community,
including the materials we collected and processed our public education and outreach
programs, and our community activities.
As always, your feedback is important to our commitment to excellent services. Please
keep me posted on how we are doing. We look forward to continuing our work together
in 2015.

WASTE
MANAGEMENT
SUSTAINABILITY
GOALS UPDATE
At Waste Management, we care about the planet. We
feel a great responsibility to leave it to future generations
in better shape than we were given it.
Good environmental stewardship is inextricably linked
to our business performance. As recycling volumes
rise and the demand for recycled commodities grows,
our revenues from this part of the business rise. As
the demand for renewable energy increases, driven
by governmental and customer sustainability goals, so
do Waste Management revenues from green energy.
Alternatively, if demand falls or the value of recycled
goods or renewable energy declines, our revenue from
these activities fall as well.
We need to take a long -term outlook and remain
steadfast in our goals. Despite periodic dips in recycling
and green energy prices, we continue to develop new
ways to convert waste into valuable resources. We are
committed to reinventing our business model and re-
envisioning the nature of waste itself. We are pleased to
share an update on our four sustainability goals.

1. INCREASE WASTE -BASED ENERGY PRODUCTION.
Waste Management alone produces more energy than the entire U.S. solar industry. In 2012, we pro-
duced enough energy to power more than 1.1 million homes. By the end of 2020, we want to generate
enough energy to power 2 million homes.
In 2014, the Columbia Ridge Landfill in Oregon doubled their energy generating capacity. They
are now producing 12.8 megawatts of electricity - enough electricity to power approximately
12,500 Seattle homes.
2. INCREASE THE VOLUME OF
RECYCLABLE MATERIALS
WE PROCESS.
We are well on our way to achieving our goal to
manage more than 20 million tons of recyclable
materials per year by 2020.
In 2013, we extracted 15 million tons of recyclables
from the waste stream - an 88 percent increase over
our 2007 baseline and a 16 percent increase in just
the past two years.
In 2014, several WM Puget Sound area cities
had residential recycling rates well above the King
County average of 55 %.
KIRKLAND- 64%
RENTON- 61%
REDMOND- 61%
SAMMAMISH- 58%
3. INCREASE OUR FLEET EFFICIENCY BY 15 %.
We have already met and exceeded our 2020 goal to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions from our fleet. After several years of experimentation, we have determined
that converting our fleet to natural gas is our best option to improve efficiency and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
WM has the largest fleet of clean, quiet compressed natural gas (CNG)
recycling and waste trucks in North America.
In the PNW, WM currently operates 424 CNG trucks.

4. PROVIDING WILDLIFE HABITAT AT OUR LANDFILLS.
We have already met and exceeded our original goal to complete Wildlife Habitat Council
certification at 100 landfills and to protect more than 25,000 acres. To date, we have pro-
tected more than 27,000 acres. Furthermore, we now have over 134 certified programs
at 112 sites company -wide.
Pacific Northwest Wildlife Habitat Council Certified sites include:
1. WENATCHEE LANDFILL
2. RIVERBEND LANDFILL
3. HILLSBORO LANDFILL

STRATEGIC
INVESTMENTS
UPDATE
Over the past year, Waste Management continued
our partnership with three very special Puget Sound
organizations. It is an honor to continue to support
their work to build sustainable communities.
r . 14 WA TE MANA EM k ANNUAL REPOR
LAKE WASHINGTON SCHOOLS FOUNDATION
Lake Washington Schools Foundation's mission is to ensure every graduate is prepared for life. With an initial
$225,000 investment, WM supported an engineering curriculum at the new STEM High School.
Waste Management and the Lake Washington Schools Foundation enjoyed a successful partnership
in 2014. Waste Management continued its financial support of the Foundation with a $5,000 Gold
Sponsorship for the Legacy for Learning Luncheon held on April 23, 2014. The event raised a record
$249,000 in support of academic excellence and success for students in the Lake Washington School
District. In 2014, students and teachers benefitted from Reaching for Success classroom grants, LINKS
mentoring and tutoring, scholarships for school - related expenses, STEM -based signature programs and
instructional coaches for 2nd year teachers. In addition, Waste Management deepened the partnership with
the Foundation by providing in -kind services to create, brand and deliver a Zero Waste Event.
Waste Management's public outreach and education staff worked with the Foundation and student
volunteers to plan zero waste processes while teaching environmental stewardship. With effective
training and guidance, the event produced only .05 lbs. of garbage per luncheon attendee and had a
96% diversion rate. Because the Lake Washington Schools Foundation and Waste Management share a
commitment to environmental sustainability, the partnership continues to flourish for both organizations,
students and community volunteers.

HOPELINK
Since its founding in 1971, Hopelink has helped over one million people
throughout north and east King County with a variety of human services. In
2012, WM contributed $150,000 to Hopelink to fund a much - needed inventory
management system for their five food banks, ensuring that all donations are
used and that perishable food will not go to waste.
Hopelink goal of ensuring that clients receive the same amount of food
no matter which Hopelink food bank they use, has been achieved! The new
inventory management system, called Primarius, has created a data collection
system that catalogs all the food Hopelink distributes across their entire food
bank system. For example, volunteers who are responsible for bread donations
can now track how much bread is at their food banks, how much has been
distributed and the expiration date of the loaves still on the shelves. The detailed
information in real time allows Hopelink to provide the freshest food possible,
without wasting food or running out of the important staples their clients rely on.
MOUNTAINS TO SOUND
GREENWAY TRUST
The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust conserves and
enhances over 1.5 million acres of the landscape from
Seattle across the Cascade Mountains all the way to
Central Washington. Following Waste Management's
$150,000 donation, Mountains to Sound has been
redeveloping the Dingford Creek trailhead in the heart of
the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River Valley.
In 2014, Waste Management sponsored the first annual Mountains to Sound breakfast, Our Future in Balance, which
raised $95,000. Our investments continue to support the Greenway's effort to preserve a delicate balance between
vibrant cities and pristine natural areas, including habitat restoration, trail construction and maintenance, and public
access planning to ensure the connection between people of this region and the vast wilderness that surrounds us.
Highlights of this year's work include:
• 75 miles of trail work completed
• 60 acres of stream -bank restoration completed
• 6 miles of out -of -use logging roads converted to recreational trails on Mount Teneriffe
• 4,000 volunteers hosted, accomplishing nearly $1 million in land stewardship work
• 18,000 native trees planted
• 5,000 students participated in the Greenway Trust's ecological education program, which engages and inspires
the environmental stewards of tomorrow through progressive, scientific learning experiences practiced both in the
classroom and in the living laboratory of a Greenway forest.
THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST IN

WM'S 2014 RECYCLE CORPS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
In its third year, Waste
Management's Recycle
Corps collegiate intern
program served as a
valuable education and
outreach resource for
communities throughout
Puget Sound.
Between June and August 2014, twelve college interns, representing
eight universities across the United States, joined Waste Management's
Outreach and Education team to learn about professionalism, teamwork,
the recycling industry, public engagement and effective communication.
Their experience commenced with 40 -hours of professional training from
WM staff and industry topic experts covering everything from the intricacies
of recycling, composting and waste prevention, to how to create and
implement effective customer engagement campaigns.
Following their training, they set out to inspire Puget Sound businesses and
residents to increase their recycling and composting and reduce their waste.
Throughout their 11 -week tenure, the 2014 WM Recycle Corps completed
6,330 hours of outreach and engaged 19,000 customers in conversations
about recycling and waste reduction.
Meeting with our municipal
partners provided an
opportunity for our interns
to see another part of
our business and better
understand what makes each
municipality unique. Each WM
Recycle Corps intern learned
the nuances and key messages
to accurately represent
local recycling programs
and to provide appropriate
educational support.

PUBLIC
EDUCATION
AND OUTREACH
In 2014, Waste Management continued to make
customer education and engagement a top priority.
Our public education resources and strategies
expanded to provide a variety of ways to promote
sustainability and engage customers in waste
diversion behaviors.
CD
WOW
WM RECYCLING BEHAVIOR STUDY
In 2013, working in partnership with King
and Snohomish counties, WM implemented
a comprehensive first —of— its -kind behavior
study with residents in the counties. We
conducted a waste characterization study
of garbage carts and followed up with
an in- person survey of households. In
2014, we decided to dig even deeper as
we concentrated on narrowing the focus
audience for the multicultural behavior study,
identified a multicultural research partner
and created the design and methodology
for the study. In order to narrow the focus
audience for the multicultural behavior study,
Waste Management conducted a thorough
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
and American Community Survey (ACS) analysis and mapping of language proficiency for King and
Snohomish Counties. This data analysis helped Waste Management, King and Snohomish Counties
select Spanish- speaking residents as the primary focus of the multicultural behavior study. Results from
the study will be released in early 2015.
ORGANICS OUTREACH
In the spring, Waste Management
participated in Compost Days, a month-
long campaign to thank Snohomish and
King County residents for diverting
350,000 tons of food, food - soiled
paper and yard debris from landfills
through curbside composting. During
Compost Days, residents received deep
discounts on Cedar Grove Compost at
75 participating area retailers and free
kitchen containers from Fred Meyer
stores. Additionally, the campaign
celebrated local King and Snohomish
County gardens with The Big Garden
Give, the region's first -ever compost
drive, which provided 1,119 yards of free
compost to more than 120 gardens that
grow food for low- income residents.
All You Can Shovel Events
In May and August, Waste Management
partnered with Cedar Grove to host two "All
You Can Shovel" events at the Cedar Grove
composting facility in Everett. Snohomish County
yard waste customers received a postcard
invitation to pick up as much free compost as
they could shovel into their vehicle. At the event,
participants received tips and tools on composting
as well as a free kitchen compost container in
exchange for taking the Foodcycling pledge,
a commitment to recycle their food and yard
waste. A grand total of 693 yards were picked up
between the two events, equivalent to six football
fields of compost!
"Scrap Happy Kitchen" Chef
Demo Events
In the summer of 2014, WM collaborated with
Safeway to host a "Scrap Happy Kitchen" booth
at three well- attended King County community
events: Sammamish Farmers Market, Celebrate
Woodinville and Auburn International Farmers
Market. At the events, Safeway's Master Chef,
Nicole Aloni, shared waste -free recipes and gave
out free food samples. Waste Management
customers were given free compostable bags
and tips and tricks on composting and creating a
"Scrap Happy Kitchen."

Keep Compost 0' Natural
Produce Sticker Trading Card
Waste Management produced a Keep Compost
0' Natural Produce Sticker Trading Card to
educate residents that one of the primary
contributors of compost contamination are
the plastic stickers found on vegetables and
fruit. Waste Management gave the card out at
the Scrap Happy Kitchen demo events in King
County and added a downloadable version to
the Foodcycling website.
Recycling Outreach at Events
Waste Management conducted Spanish - language community education
outreach at key Latino cultural events in or near our service areas. Latino
cultural community events provide a unique opportunity for Spanish -
language customers to ask questions of trained staff, and gather the
latest tools and resources for increasing recycling and composting at
home. The Spanish - language Recycling Information Station was created
to provide education to Spanish- speaking and bilingual attendees on
how to properly sort their items into the right cart. The event attendees
pledged to hang Spanish - language guidelines in their homes where
everyone can see them and to use the guides to properly sort their items
into garbage, recycling or compost bins.
In September, Waste Management participated in the Fiestas Patrias
South Park parade with Waste Management's own Vintage Truck and
hosted the Spanish- Language Recycling Information Station at Seattle
Center. We were able to engage with more than 200 event attendees.

MANAGEMENT
IN YOUR
COMMUNITY
In 2014, our public education goal for residents and
businesses in the City of Tukwila was simple — provide
excellent service and targeted outreach in an effort
to encourage waste reduction. Waste Management
met this goal as we worked with Tukwila residents
to increase and improve recycling and composting
education for all Tukwila customers with careful
planning, consistent information, strong community
relationships and innovative programs.
Focusing on continued progress and clear
communication, Waste Management and Tukwila staff
met frequently to plan outreach and develop new and
exciting waste reduction events and campaigns.

ENHANCING SINGLE FAMILY RECYCLING
Events
Waste Management participated in several City of Tukwila
events in 2014. At the Tukwila Kids Festival, Tukwila Heritage
and Culture Celebration, Tukwila Touch a Truck Safety and
Emergency Preparedness Fair and Backyard Wildlife Festival,
WM's outreach staff engaged attendees at the WM Recycling
Information Station with hands -on activities and displays,
informative handouts, and fun giveaways made from recycled
materials. At the education booth, WM staff encouraged
Tukwila residents and business owners to ask questions about
recycling and provided information about where to take
household hazardous waste and electronic waste.
Our Waste Management Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
recycling truck also made an appearance at an event over
the summer.
At the Tukwila Touch a Truck event, our CNG truck was
stationed near the recycling booth where children waited
with their families in lines to safely explore the truck and
learn how it operates.
To follow up with customers at events, Waste Management's recyclenw @wm.com email is now printed
on customer service business cards. This email continues to be a method for all customers to ask
additional questions and request educational materials.
Donations
Through sponsorships and service donations, Waste Management supported other events and
organizations that are vital to the Tukwila community:

Special Collection
Making recycling odd items convenient, Waste
Management collected motor oil, cooking oil, electronic
waste and CFL bulbs curbside from Tukwila residents in
2014.
To collect larger items that do not have a place at the
curb, WM provided service for the City of Tukwila's two
collection events:
▪ During the City's annual June cleanup, residents left bulky
items, such as furniture, appliances and mattresses, at the
curb for collection.
• At the City of Tukwila's Fall Collection Event, residents
delivered their bulky items to our convenient drop off location.
Reaching Out To Customers
In a continued effort to improve the City of Tukwila's recycling guidelines on a regular
basis, key updates were made in 2014. Panels were added to highlight the importance
of composting instead of placing food waste in the garbage and how composted
food and yard waste become a high value soil. Additionally, the guides contain a more
comprehensive explanation of contamination and the importance knowing what should
and should not be placed in the compost cart.
The guide also contains a description of what goes into the recycling and garbage
carts, tips to reduce waste, severe weather protocols and information, and community
resources on where to dispose of hazardous waste.
All 2,739 single family residents received the Tukwila recycling guide.

EDUCATION & PARTICIPATION
Throughout 2014, WM Education Staff visited
all 113 multifamily properties to update property
managers and staff on the free recycling education
services available, including door -to -door delivery of
educational resources and City of Tukwila recycling
tote bags for tenants. We were excited to hear from
many property managers that they were already
aware of many educational resources due to previous
site visits. WM distributed over 2,100 recycling bags
and fliers and conducted door -to -door outreach for
1,228 individual units, reaching property managers
and tenants alike.
In addition to the outreach, WM mailed each of the
113 Tukwila property managers a recycling guide
that displays what goes in the garbage, compost and
recycle containers, and features updated resources for
items that are not part of regular collection services.

available, along with 197 recycling fliers clearly showing what should be placed in the
recycle, compost and garbage containers. Our staff also provided free onsite technical
assistance and supported businesses in overcoming site - specific recycling barriers.
The impact of WM's commercial outreach continues to
result in significant improvements in recycling for the Tukwila
community. Nearly 540 businesses in Tukwila
now have recycling service. That's an increase of
over 190 businesses since 2012!
In late 2014, commercial customers received
the Tukwila Business Recycling Guide, which
provides comprehensive recycling, compost and
garbage guidelines, as well as additional recycling
resources for businesses.
