<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Earnings Increase as a Result of Strong Revenue Growth and<BR>
Favorable Tax Audit Settlements</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>HOUSTON &#150; October&nbsp;28, 2004 &#150; </B>Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WMI) today announced
financial results for its third quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2004. Revenues for
the quarter were $3.27&nbsp;billion as compared with $3.00&nbsp;billion in the year ago
period, an increase of 9%. Net income reported for the quarter was $302
million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared with net income of $210&nbsp;million,
or $0.35 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2003, an increase in net
income of 44%. This year&#146;s third quarter earnings included a $0.12 per diluted
share benefit from favorable tax audit settlements.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;Our third quarter results reflect both improved pricing and continued strong
volumes,&#148; stated David P. Steiner, Chief Executive Officer of Waste Management.
&#147;Internal revenue growth due to higher yield across our base business was
0.8%. This matches the highest level we have seen in over two years and shows
the success of our pricing initiatives on the collection side of our business
as well as our ability to raise rates at our transfer stations and to increase
prices on municipal solid waste streams coming into our landfills. Our revenue
growth due to higher volumes reflected the continuation of a strong economy and
included increased volumes from the four hurricanes during the quarter. We
attribute $59&nbsp;million of our higher revenues in the quarter to our Florida
hurricane clean-up efforts. We estimate that the earnings contribution from
the hurricanes was approximately $5&nbsp;million before-tax. More importantly, our
teams in Florida demonstrated their commitment to their communities and
solidified the excellent working relationships with their customers in this
time of crisis.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Steiner continued, &#147;We were also pleased with our strong cash generation, as we
produced $599&nbsp;million in cash from operations and $305&nbsp;million in free cash
flow<SUP>(a)</SUP> for the quarter. That brings our cash generated from operations for
the first three quarters to
<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;

<!-- PAGEBREAK -->
<P><HR noshade><P>
<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always">&nbsp;</H5><P>

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">$1.6&nbsp;billion and our total free cash flow to $854&nbsp;million. Based on this, for
the full year we expect to meet or exceed our previously stated ranges of $2.1
to $2.2&nbsp;billion in cash flow from operations and $900&nbsp;million to $1&nbsp;billion in
free cash flow.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;We increased the level of our common stock share repurchases to $240&nbsp;million
during the quarter and expect to repurchase $425 to $500&nbsp;million for the year.
The Company also announced today that our Board of Directors has approved a new
capital allocation program that provides up to $1.2&nbsp;billion annually in cash
dividends and common stock repurchases over the next three years. Under this
plan, we expect to increase our quarterly dividend payments to a total of $0.80
per share per year, which would result in an increase of $0.05 per share per
year compared to the dividends declared in 2004. The balance of the $1.2
billion authorization would be available for share repurchases. This program
reinforces our commitment to returning value to our shareholders and our
confidence in our ability to generate strong and consistent free cash flows.&#148;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2004, Waste Management reported
operating revenues of $9.31&nbsp;billion as compared with $8.66&nbsp;billion for the
comparable period last year. Net income was $670&nbsp;million and diluted earnings
per share was $1.15 for the current year nine-month period, as compared with
$447&nbsp;million and $0.75, respectively, for the same period in 2003. The 2004
results include the favorable impact of the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle of $8&nbsp;million, or $0.01 per diluted share. The 2003
results included the unfavorable impact of cumulative effect of changes in
accounting principles of $46&nbsp;million, or $0.08 per diluted share. Net income
before cumulative effect increased 34% in 2004 as compared to the prior year&#146;s
first nine months. Results from the first nine months of 2003 included a
pre-tax restructuring charge of $43&nbsp;million, or $0.04 per diluted share,
related to workforce reductions completed in 2003.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in 2004 is related
entirely to final implementation of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No.&nbsp;46, <I>Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities</I>. In 2003,
the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles was primarily related
to the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;143,
<I>Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations</I>, partially offset by accounting
policy changes related to certain maintenance activities and loss contracts.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Steiner added, &#147;Our operating costs as a percentage of revenue increased by 90
basis points as compared with the prior year quarter. This increase was
attributable largely to the one-time impact of our hurricane clean-up efforts
and higher fuel costs. Including the fuel surcharges we paid to
sub-contractors in the quarter, higher fuel prices cost us about $10&nbsp;million of
operating income, or $0.01 per diluted share, as compared to last year&#146;s
quarter. As a company we remain keenly focused on raising our prices to cover
all cost increases and reducing those costs within our control.&#148;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">During the third quarter of this year, Waste Management settled federal income
tax audits for several subsidiaries, which increased earnings by $71&nbsp;million,
or $0.12 per diluted share. The Company has been actively negotiating tax
audit settlements involving tax returns dating as far back as 1988. The
Company has made significant progress in
settling open tax audits and expects to close the remaining open federal income
tax audits over the next few quarters.

not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and is not intended to replace the consolidated statement

or exceed our previously stated range of $900&nbsp;million to $1&nbsp;billion, based on estimated net cash provided by operating activities meeting or
exceeding a range of $2.1 to $2.2&nbsp;billion, capital expenditures of between $1.25&nbsp;billion and $1.3&nbsp;billion, and proceeds from divestitures,
net of cash divested and other sales of assets of $80&nbsp;million to $100&nbsp;million.</TD>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>HOUSTON &#150; October&nbsp;28, 2004 &#150; </B>Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WMI) today announced
that its Board of Directors approved a new capital allocation program, designed
to benefit shareholders, that includes the authorization for up to $1.2&nbsp;billion
annually in cash dividends and common stock repurchases for each of the next
three years. Beginning in the first quarter of 2005, the Company expects to
increase its quarterly dividends to a total of $0.80 per share per year, which
would be an increase of $0.05 per share per year compared to the dividends
declared in 2004. Future quarterly dividends must first be declared by its
Board of Directors prior to payment.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">As part of the new capital allocation program, the Board of Directors has
authorized management to continue to make stock repurchases each year over the
next three years in an amount not to exceed the $1.2&nbsp;billion annually, less
dividends paid. Based on the number of outstanding shares as of September&nbsp;30,
2004, the Company expects to pay approximately $460&nbsp;million in dividends on an
annual basis. The amount of stock repurchased will also depend on a number of
items, including capital expenditures and cash acquisition costs, two other key
components of the capital allocation program.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;This announcement reinforces our commitment to return free cash flow to our
shareholders,&#148; said David P. Steiner, Chief Executive Officer of Waste
Management, Inc. &#147;Waste Management continues to demonstrate its ability to
generate consistent and strong cash flows from its operations and the Board of
Directors and management continue to believe that a capital allocation program
that benefits our shareholders is one of our most important mandates.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;Beginning in the first quarter of 2005, we expect to increase our quarterly
dividend payment from the $0.1875 per share we paid in 2004 to $0.20 per share.
At the current share price of approximately $27, this equates to an annual
yield of nearly 3%. This dividend yield would continue to place Waste
Management in the top 20% for dividend yield of the Standard and Poor&#146;s 500
Index of companies,&#148; Steiner said.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;The authorization for new share repurchases replaces our current three-year
program, under which we have already bought back over 72&nbsp;million shares, which
represents 12% of the number of shares outstanding at the end of 2001.&#148;

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Waste Management, Inc. is its industry&#146;s leading provider of comprehensive
waste management and environmental services. Based in Houston, the Company
serves municipal, commercial, industrial, and residential customers throughout
North America.
