Waste Management 10-Q

Filing excerpt

Recycling Processing and Sales - Income from operations in our Recycling Processing and Sales segment remained steady due to lower expenses from the suspension of a business engaged in accelerating plastic film and wrap recycling capabilities during 2025, and increased volumes and reduced costs from the automation of our recycling facilities as well as investments in new facilities, mostly offset by declines in commodity prices.
