Privatization

The Key to Waste Management Growth

Privatization is a dream of Waste Management (WMI) for future growth and profits. Some fifty years ago it was common that municipalities owned a dump where local companies or the city disposed of solid waste. Today with needed environmental regulations and the immense increase of solid waste, WMI has become an huge corporation exploiting the solid waste crisis. It has made great gains in privatization by often owning a price monopoly landfill. Future growth plans include supporting maximum privatization. John Donahue's THE PRIVATIZATION DECISION lays out solid bases for garbage collection decisions. The Harvard writer's classic 1989 book, available in paperback, is reviewed by us.

There will always be a mix of public and private services in our society. The issue is how much of each. This site will provide information on this issue and how WMI hopes to exploit the privatization issue to the maximum. This site is under construction during the next few months.
