Solid waste commercial collection volume measures the revenue impact from changes in commercial collection activity.

WM reported commercial collection volume of -1.2% in Q2 2026.

Revenue-impact volume is not customer-count growth

The percentage is measured against prior-year related-business revenue adjusted for divestitures. It can reflect changes in service frequency, container activity, customer wins and losses, and other operating activity, so it is not a direct count of commercial customers or pickups.

Use it with commercial collection yield and Collection and Disposal volume to separate pricing and mix from activity levels.
