Shares of Waste Management have gained 15.2% in the past year compared with 10% rise of the industry it belongs to.

It is expected to expand Waste Management Energy Services’ offerings and enhance the quality of solid waste disposal services offered to oil and gas producing customers operating in Texas.
Scott Bradley, vice president of Four Corners Area at Waste Management, stated that, “By leveraging Petro Waste’s extensive footprint and scale, core competencies, state-of-the-art disposal facilities and robust customer base, we expect to generate momentum for significant and sustainable business growth.”
