Typical groundwater monitoring wells are used to sample groundwater levels and quality at landfills. They consist of protective surface casing extending above ground with a sampling cap. Below is a sealed section with slots to allow water entry. Gravel fills the bottom to allow water sampling. Waste Management has strict standards and procedures for consistent, high-quality monitoring well installation and routine sampling, with lab-analyzed results reported to regulators for early issue identification.
Gas monitoring probes are used at landfills to measure gas concentrations at specified intervals. This process identifies potential environmental concerns early so they can be evaluated and corrected according to regulations. The probes enhance environmental protection at landfills by monitoring landfill gas.
1. A typical landfill contains layers that protect the environment from waste, including a cover of native vegetation, topsoil, and protective soil to prevent erosion.
2. Below this is a composite cap system with a drainage layer to remove excess water and a plastic geomembrane to prevent water and gas from entering or leaving the landfill.
3. At the base is a liner system with a plastic geomembrane and compacted clay layers to block leachate, along with a leachate collection system of pipes and pumps to safely remove contaminated liquid from the landfill.
WasteByRail is a transportation system operated by Waste Management that provides rail access to landfills across North America for waste disposal. Since 2000, it has formed partnerships within the rail industry to cost-effectively transport virtually any type of solid or liquid waste over long distances to specially equipped landfills. Transportation options include intermodal rail containers, motor carriers, gondola rail cars, and rail tank cars. WasteByRail allows waste generators without direct rail access to consolidate loads for more efficient transport.
Waste Management provides renewable energy through waste-to-energy processes. Refuse is fed into enclosed facilities where it is burned to heat water and produce steam, which powers turbine generators to produce electricity for the utility grid. Ash produced is recovered for materials. Waste Management harnesses energy from waste to provide green, renewable electricity.
Waste Management is developing renewable energy from waste to meet increasing demand for sustainable energy alternatives. They operate landfill gas projects that provide a reliable source of energy for utilities. One project powers 4,000 homes daily. They also operate waste-to-energy plants that burn trash to generate electricity, such as one plant in Florida that produces enough energy for 35,000 homes. Waste Management is responding to concerns about energy security, sustainability and the environment through waste-based renewable energy projects.
Waste Management and its recycling arm WM Recycle America are leading providers of recycling services in North America. They operate 105 recycling facilities across the United States and Canada, including 29 single-stream plants. Each year they process and market over 7.6 million tons of recyclable materials such as paper, plastics, metals, and electronics.

Independent Study - College of Wooster Research (2023-2024) FDI, Culture, Glo...AntoniaOwensDetwiler
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.
An accounting information system (AIS) refers to tools and systems designed for the collection and display of accounting information so accountants and executives can make informed decisions.
