Solid waste industrial collection volume measures the revenue impact from changes in industrial collection activity.
WM reported industrial collection volume of +0.2% in Q2 2026, unchanged from the first-half growth rate.
A positive volume percentage is not literal unit growth
WM expresses volume as a revenue impact relative to prior-year related-business revenue adjusted for divestitures. Changes in service activity and customer mix can therefore affect the measure without mapping one-for-one to tons, containers, or customer counts.
Pair it with industrial collection yield and Collection and Disposal volume when comparing demand with realized pricing.
