Solid waste commercial collection yield measures the pricing-driven revenue change in commercial collection, exclusive of volume effects.

WM reported 4.0% commercial collection yield in Q2 2026, versus 4.4% for the first half of 2026.

Yield mixes price with realized service economics

The measure can move with base rates, environmental and service fees, service mix, pricing on new and lost business, and customer-retention concessions. It should not be treated as a pure list-price increase.

Read it with commercial collection volume and Collection and Disposal yield to distinguish monetization from activity.
