obligations, including our obligations under the notes.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have substantial indebtedness. At September&nbsp;30, 2017, our ratio of total debt to total capitalization was 63.8% and we had
$9.345&nbsp;billion of total debt. In addition, as of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we had approximately $1.29&nbsp;billion of letters of credit outstanding under our $2.25&nbsp;billion revolving
credit facility and other letter of credit facilities. Our indebtedness that bears interest at a floating rate makes us vulnerable to changes in interest rates. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, we had
$1.821&nbsp;billion of debt maturing within the next 12&nbsp;months which includes $551&nbsp;million of tax-exempt bonds with term interest rate periods that expire within the next
12&nbsp;months. Our level of indebtedness and the covenants contained in the agreements governing our debt could have important consequences, including:</FONT></P>

are not prohibited under the indenture governing the notes from incurring additional indebtedness. Although our $2.25&nbsp;billion revolving credit facility requires us to comply
with specified ratios of Total Debt to EBITDA and EBIT to Consolidated Total Interest Expense (each as defined in our $2.25&nbsp;billion revolving credit facility), as of September&nbsp;30, 2017
and after giving effect to the offering of the notes and the use of proceeds contemplated hereby, we have the ability to incur additional indebtedness while remaining in compliance with these ratios.
Our incurrence of additional indebtedness would exacerbate the negative consequences mentioned above, and could adversely affect our ability to service and repay the notes. </FONT></P>

We are a holding company and we depend upon cash distributions from our subsidiaries to service our debt.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a holding company, we conduct our operations through our operating subsidiaries, and our only significant assets are the capital stock of our
subsidiaries. Accordingly, our ability to meet our cash obligations, including our obligations under the notes, depends in part upon the ability of our subsidiaries to make cash distributions to us.
Any of our subsidiaries' declaration of bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization could materially adversely affect their ability to make cash distributions to us. Additionally, the ability of our
subsidiaries to make distributions to us is, and will continue to be, restricted by, among other limitations, applicable provisions of federal and state law and contractual provisions. Any inability
of our operating subsidiaries to make dividends or distributions to us, whether by reason of financial difficulties or other restrictions, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to
service and repay our debt, including the notes. </FONT></P>

The notes will be effectively subordinated to certain of our subsidiaries' debt and our secured debt.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While the notes will be guaranteed by WM Holdings and will rank equally with all of our and WM&nbsp;Holdings' existing and future senior
indebtedness, the notes will be structurally subordinated to all obligations of our subsidiaries other than WM Holdings, including trade payables of our operating subsidiaries. This means that holders
of the notes will have a junior position to the claims of creditors of our operating subsidiaries on their assets and earnings. The notes will also be effectively subordinated to any secured debt we
have or may incur, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that debt. The indenture governing the notes does not limit the amount of debt our subsidiaries can incur, and it permits us to
incur some secured debt. Our debt balances are generally unsecured, except for capital leases and a note payable associated with our investment in federal low-income housing tax credits. The balance
on such note payable as of September&nbsp;30, 2017 was $40&nbsp;million. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, our operating subsidiaries had $2.394&nbsp;billion of indebtedness and WM Holdings had
$304&nbsp;million of indebtedness (excluding guarantees of $5.7&nbsp;billion of our senior debt), in each case excluding intercompany loans. For a description of the ranking of the notes, see
"Description of Notes&#151;Ranking" in this prospectus supplement. </FONT></P>

Fraudulent transfer statutes may limit your rights under the guarantee of the notes.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our obligations under the notes will be guaranteed by our wholly owned subsidiary, WM Holdings. The guarantee may be subject to review under
various laws for the protection of creditors. It is possible that the creditors of WM Holdings may challenge the guarantee as a fraudulent transfer under relevant federal and state laws. Under certain
circumstances, including a finding that WM Holdings was insolvent at the time its guarantee was issued, a court could hold that the obligations of WM Holdings under the guarantee may be voided or are
subordinate to other obligations of WM Holdings, or that the amount for which WM Holdings is liable under its guarantee of the notes may be limited. Different jurisdictions define "insolvency"
differently, and we cannot assure you as to what standard a court would apply to determine whether WM Holdings was insolvent. If a court determined that WM Holdings was insolvent on the date the
guarantee of the notes was issued, or that the guarantee constituted a fraudulent transfer on another ground, the claims of creditors of WM Holdings would effectively have priority with respect to WM
Holdings' assets and earnings over the claims of the holders of the notes. </FONT></P>

operating subsidiaries' financial condition and operating requirements, may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries that we require to pay our debt service obligations, including
payments on the notes. While the notes will be guaranteed by WM Holdings and will rank equally with all of our and WM Holdings' existing and future senior indebtedness, the notes will be structurally

definition of "change of control" includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of our
assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise, established definition of
the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the applicability of the requirement that we offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less
than all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person may be uncertain. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Purchases
of notes under the DTC system must be made by or through direct DTC participants, which will receive a credit for the notes in DTC's records. The ownership interest of each
actual purchaser of notes is in turn to be recorded on the direct and indirect DTC participants' records. Beneficial owners of the notes will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their
purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect DTC
participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of direct and indirect
DTC participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the notes, except in the event that use of the
book-entry system for the notes is discontinued. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
facilitate subsequent transfers, all notes deposited by direct DTC participants are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co., or such other name
as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change
in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the notes; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the direct DTC participants to whose accounts such notes are
credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The direct and indirect DTC participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conveyance
of notices and other communications by DTC to direct DTC participants, by direct DTC participants to indirect DTC participants, and by direct DTC participants and indirect DTC
participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities which they own. Consequently, those persons may be prohibited from
purchasing beneficial interests in the global notes from any beneficial owner or otherwise. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So
long as DTC's nominee is the registered owner of the global notes, such nominee for all purposes will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes for all purposes under the
Indenture. Except as provided below, beneficial owners will not be entitled to have any of the notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the
notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither
DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the notes. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the issuer
as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those direct DTC participants to whose accounts the notes are credited on
the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy). </FONT></P>

practice is to credit direct DTC participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from trustees or issuers on payment dates in accordance with their respective
holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts
of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such participant and not of DTC, the Trustee or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as
may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) shall be the
responsibility of the Trustee or us, disbursement of such payments to direct DTC participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners shall be
the responsibility of direct and indirect DTC participants. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DTC
may discontinue providing its service as securities depositary with respect to the notes at any time by giving reasonable notice to us or the Trustee. In addition, we may decide to
discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depositary). Under those circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depositary is not
obtained, note certificates in fully registered form are required to be printed and delivered to beneficial owners of the global notes representing such notes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither
Waste Management, the Trustee nor the underwriters will have any responsibility or obligation to direct DTC participants, or the persons for whom they act as nominees, with
respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC, its nominee or any direct DTC participant with respect to any ownership interest in the notes, or payments to, or the providing of notice to direct DTC
participants or beneficial owners. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So
long as the notes are in DTC's book-entry system, secondary market trading activity in the notes will settle in immediately available funds. We will make all applicable payments on

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear
participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thus eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of
securities and cash. Euroclear provides various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries generally similar to the
arrangements for cross-market transfers with DTC. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Euroclear
is operated by the Euroclear Operator under a contract with Euroclear Clearance Systems, S.C., a Belgian cooperative, or the "cooperative." The Euroclear Operator conducts all
operations, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator, not the cooperative. The cooperative establishes policy for Euroclear
on behalf of Euroclear participants. Euroclear participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the
underwriters of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement or one or more of their affiliates. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a
custodial relationship with a Euroclear participant, either directly or indirectly. Euroclear is an indirect DTC participant. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear, the related Operating Procedures of Euroclear and applicable Belgian law govern securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with
the Euroclear Operator. Specifically, these terms and conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawal of securities and cash from Euroclear and receipts of payments
with respect to securities in Euroclear. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All
securities in Euroclear are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the
terms and conditions only on behalf of Euroclear participants and has no record of or relationship with persons holding securities through Euroclear participants. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distributions
with respect to the notes held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear participants in accordance with Euroclear's terms and
conditions, to the extent received by the Euroclear Operator and by Euroclear. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Euroclear
will record the ownership interests of its participants in much the same way as does DTC. If DTC is the depositary for the notes, it will record the total ownership of the
notes of the U.S. agent of Euroclear as a participant in DTC. When the notes are to be transferred from the account of a direct DTC participant to the account of a Euroclear participant, the purchaser
must send instructions to Euroclear through a Euroclear participant at least one day prior to settlement. Euroclear will instruct its U.S. agent to receive the notes against payment. After settlement,
Euroclear will credit its participant's account with the interest in the notes purchased. Credit for the notes will appear on the next day (European time). </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
instances in which the notes are held by DTC or its nominee, settlement will take place during New York business hours. Direct DTC participants will be able to employ their usual
procedures for sending the notes to the relevant U.S. agent acting for the benefit of Euroclear participants. The sale proceeds will be available to the DTC seller on the settlement date. As a result,
as to the direct DTC participant, a cross-market transaction will settle no differently than a trade between two direct DTC participants. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When
a Euroclear participant wishes to transfer the notes to a direct DTC participant, the seller will be required to send instructions to Euroclear through a Euroclear participant at
least one business day prior to settlement. In these cases, Euroclear will instruct its U.S. agent to transfer these notes against payment for them. The payment will then be reflected in the account
of the Euroclear participant the following day, with the proceeds back-valued to the value date, which would be the preceding day, when settlement occurs in New York. If settlement is not completed on
the intended value date, that is, the trade fails, proceeds credited to the Euroclear participant's account will instead be valued as of the actual settlement date. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
should be aware that you will only be able to make and receive deliveries, payments and other communications involving the notes through Euroclear on the days when Euroclear is open
for business. Euroclear may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States. In addition, because of time zone differences,
problems may occur when completing transactions involving Euroclear on the same business day as in the United States. </FONT></P>

Clearstream provides to its customers, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities, securities lending and
borrowing and collateral management. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in a number of countries. Clearstream has established an electronic bridge with the Euroclear Operator to facilitate
settlement of trades between Clearstream and Euroclear. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a registered bank in Luxembourg, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector. Clearstream participants are recognized
financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations. In the United States, Clearstream participants are
limited to securities brokers and dealers and banks, and may include the underwriters of the securities offered by means of this prospectus supplement or one or more of their affiliates. Other
institutions that maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream participant may obtain indirect access to Clearstream. Clearstream is an indirect DTC participant. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distributions
with respect to the notes held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream participants in accordance with its rules and procedures,
to the extent received by Clearstream. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Clearstream
will record the ownership interests of its participants in much the same way as does DTC. If DTC is the depositary for the notes, it will record the total ownership of the
notes of the U.S. agent of Clearstream as a participant in DTC. When the notes are to be transferred from the account of a direct DTC participant to the account of a Clearstream participant, the
purchaser must send instructions to Clearstream through a Clearstream participant at least one day prior to settlement. Clearstream will instruct its U.S. agent to receive the notes against payment.
After settlement, Clearstream will credit its participant's account with the interest in the notes. Credit for the notes will appear on the next day (European time). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
instances in which the notes are held by DTC or its nominee, settlement will take place during New York business hours. Direct DTC participants will be able to employ their usual
procedures for sending the notes to the relevant U.S. agent acting for the benefit of Clearstream participants. The sale proceeds will be available to the DTC seller on the settlement date. As a
result, as to the direct DTC participant, a cross-market transaction will settle no differently than a trade between two direct DTC participants. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When
a Clearstream participant wishes to transfer the notes to a direct DTC participant, the seller will be required to send instructions to Clearstream through a Clearstream participant
at least one business day prior to settlement. In these cases, Clearstream will instruct its U.S. agent to transfer these notes against payment for them. The payment will then be reflected in the
account of the Clearstream participant the following day, with the proceeds back-valued to the value date, which would be the preceding day, when settlement occurs in New York. If settlement is not
completed on the intended value date, that is, the trade fails, proceeds credited to the Clearstream participant's account will instead be valued as of the actual settlement date. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
should be aware that you will only be able to make and receive deliveries, payments and other communications involving the notes through Clearstream on the days when Clearstream is
open for business. Clearstream may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States. In addition, because of time zone
differences, problems may occur when completing transactions involving Clearstream on the same business day as in the United States. </FONT></P>

<BR></FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>  CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS<BR>  <BR>    Scope of Discussion    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the
notes by an individual or entity that is a non-U.S. holder (as defined below). This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury regulations
promulgated under the Code, court decisions, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this prospectus
supplement and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion is limited to non-U.S. holders who purchase the notes at their "issue
price" (i.e.,&nbsp;the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes is sold for cash other than to bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of
underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers) and who hold the notes as capital assets (generally, property held for investment). </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to non-U.S. holders in light of their particular circumstances or to non-U.S.
holders who may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, such as certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States. In addition, this discussion does
not address any aspect of non-income taxation (such as estate and gift taxes or the Medicare tax on certain investment income) or state, local or foreign taxation. This summary is intended for general
information only and does not represent a detailed description of all the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances. No ruling has
been or will be obtained from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership or disposition of the notes. As a result, no assurance can be given that the IRS
will not assert, or that a court will not sustain, a position contrary to the conclusions set forth below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds the notes, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the
partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner of a partnership considering an investment in the notes, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the
particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes, as well as the consequences to you arising under other U.S. federal tax laws as well as
the laws of any state, local, or non-U.S. taxing jurisdictions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;THIS
SUMMARY IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS OF THE TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP OR DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES. WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR
REGARDING THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP OR DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES IN LIGHT OF YOUR OWN SITUATION. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may be required to make payments of additional amounts to holders of the notes under certain circumstances, including those described under
"Description of Notes&#151;Optional Redemption" or "Description of Notes&#151;Change of Control Offer" above. The foregoing contingencies may implicate the provisions of the U.S.
Treasury regulations relating to "contingent payment debt instruments." Under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, one or more such contingencies will not cause the notes to be treated as contingent
payment debt instruments if, as of the issue date, there is only a remote chance that such an amount will be paid, the amount is incidental or certain other exceptions apply. Although the issue is not
free from doubt, we intend to take the position that the possibility of any such payment should not cause the notes to be subject to "contingent payment debt instrument" rules. Our position is binding
on you unless you disclose your contrary position in the manner required by applicable Treasury regulations. Our determination is not, however, binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to successfully
challenge this determination you might, among other things, be required to accrue interest income at a higher rate than the stated interest rate and to treat as ordinary interest income any gain
realized on a disposition of the notes. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. You should consult your own tax advisors
regarding the possible application of the contingent payment debt instrument rules to the notes. </FONT></P>

engaged in a U.S. trade or business. If any interest on the notes or gain from the sale, redemption, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of the notes is effectively connected with a U.S.
trade or business conducted by you (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable to your permanent establishment in the United States), then the interest or gain will be subject to
U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at regular graduated income tax rates but will not be subject to withholding tax, provided, in the case of interest, that certain certification
requirements are satisfied. You can generally meet the certification requirements by providing a properly executed IRS Form&nbsp;W-8ECI or applicable successor form to the applicable withholding
agent. If you are a corporation, that portion of your earnings and profits that is effectively connected with your U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable tax treaty, is attributable
to your permanent establishment in the United States) also may be subject to a "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate, unless an applicable tax treaty provides for a lower rate. </FONT></P>

(including a retirement or redemption) of the notes occurring after December&nbsp;31, 2018, in each case if paid to a "foreign financial institution" or a "non-financial foreign entity" (each as
defined in the Code), unless (i)&nbsp;in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the Treasury Department to withhold on certain payments and to
collect and provide substantial information regarding U.S. account holders, including certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners, (ii)&nbsp;in the case of a non-financial
foreign entity, such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification that it does not have any "substantial United States owners" (as defined in the Code) or a certification identifying its
direct or indirect substantial United States owners, or (iii)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. Under

 <P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the notes included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to
other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the notes if they purchase any of the notes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
underwriters propose to offer the notes directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and may offer the notes to
dealers at the public offering price less a concession not to exceed&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of the principal amount of the notes. The underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to
exceed&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of the principal amount of the notes
on sales to other dealers. After the initial offering of the notes to the public, the representatives may change the public offering price and other selling terms applicable to the notes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with the offering, the representatives, on behalf of the underwriters, may purchase and sell notes in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment,
syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Over-allotment involves syndicate sales of notes in excess of the principal amount of notes to be purchased by the underwriters in the
offering, which creates a syndicate short position. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover
syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases of notes made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes while the
offering is in progress. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the representatives, in covering
syndicate short positions or making stabilizing purchases, repurchase notes originally sold by that syndicate member. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
of these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes. They may also cause the price of the notes to be higher than the price
that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters
commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
estimate that our total expenses (not including the underwriting discount) for this offering will be $1.6&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have agreed that we will not offer to sell any of our debt securities (other than the notes, bank borrowings and commercial paper) for a period of 30&nbsp;days after the date of
this prospectus supplement without the prior written consent of the representatives. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We

underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
expect delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;, 2017, which is the seventh
business day following the date of pricing of the notes
(such settlement being referred to as "T+7"). Under Rule&nbsp;15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to
any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on the date of pricing of the notes or the next succeeding four business days will be required, by virtue
of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+7, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity
securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities
may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their
affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such
underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our
securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The underwriters
and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/ or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to
clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. </FONT></P>

Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements, other than statements of historical facts,
included or incorporated herein regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are often identified by the words, "will," "may," "should," "continue," "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "plan," "forecast," "project," "estimate," "intend," and words of
a similar nature. Such statements are only predictions and, accordingly, are subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Many
factors could affect our actual results, and variances from our current expectations regarding these factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
our forward-looking statements. We presently consider the factors set forth below to be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our published expectations. A more
detailed discussion of these factors, as well as other factors that could affect our results, is contained under the heading "Risk Factors" in our report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2014. However, management cannot predict all factors, or combinations of factors, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking
statements. Factors that we currently believe could cause our results to be different from our expectations include:</FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of computing these ratios, we have divided earnings available for fixed charges by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings
available for fixed charges consist of consolidated earnings before taxes, cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles, losses in equity investments and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist
of interest expense, capitalized interest, and the portion of our operating lease rental expense that represents an interest factor, which we refer to as implicit interest in rents. The following
table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for each of the periods indicated (dollars in millions): </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe that the Adjusted Ratio is useful to investors as an indicator of our ability to meet our fixed obligations because it is independent of significant non-cash impacts and other
items that management believes are not representative of our results. The Adjusted Ratio is a measurement not calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
used by other companies. You should not rely on the Adjusted Ratio as a substitute for the ratio of earnings to fixed charges calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP or any other GAAP
financial measure. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No
shares of our preferred stock are currently issued or outstanding, therefore no dividends accrued on any shares of our preferred stock for any period presented. Accordingly, the ratio
of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is the same at the ratio of earnings to fixed charges. </FONT></P>

us for general corporate purposes, which may include additions to working capital, refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, repurchase or redemption of securities and possible
acquisitions. Pending any specific application, we may temporarily invest funds in short-term investments or apply them to the reduction of short-term indebtedness. Unless otherwise specified in the
applicable prospectus supplement, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of securities by selling securityholders. </FONT></P>

unsecured basis under an indenture, dated as of September&nbsp;10, 1997, among Waste Management, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the current successor to Texas
Commerce Bank National Association), as trustee. We will issue subordinated debt securities under an indenture dated as of February&nbsp;3, 1997, among Waste Management, as issuer, and The Bank of
New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The indentures are substantially identical, except for provisions relating to subordination and covenants. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may issue shares of our common stock to purchasers or in order to settle litigation or other claims or to satisfy judgment or arbitration
awards. We may also issue shares of common stock to persons upon exercise of any convertible securities issued hereunder. The terms of any offering of common stock will be provided in a prospectus
supplement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are authorized to issue 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 446,495,290 shares were outstanding at October&nbsp;20, 2015 (excluding treasury shares of 183,787,171). We
are also authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which were outstanding on that date. </FONT></P>

Common Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividends.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when declared by our Board of Directors. In certain cases, common
stockholders
may not receive dividends until we satisfy our obligations to any preferred stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voting Rights.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote in the election of directors and in each other matter we may ask
stockholders to
vote on. Common stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights. To be elected, a director must receive a majority of the votes cast with respect to that director at the meeting. This means that the
number of shares voted "for" a director must exceed 50% of the votes cast with respect to that director. Our By-laws provide that if the number of shares voted "for" any director nominee does not
exceed 50% of the votes cast with respect to that director, he or she will tender his resignation to the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board of Directors will then
make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fully Paid Status.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All outstanding shares of our common stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The shares offered
hereby will also
be, upon issuance and sale, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Liquidation or Dissolution.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our business, whether or not voluntarily, common stockholders will
share ratably in
the assets remaining after we pay our creditors and any preferred stockholders. </FONT></P>

Preferred Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board of Directors is authorized, without obtaining stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock. The Board's
authority includes determining the number of shares of each series and the rights, preferences and limitations of each series, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption
rights and any liquidation preferences. In this regard, the Board may issue preferred stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common
stock, and dividend or liquidation preferences that would restrict common stock dividends or adversely affect the assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock in the event of
our dissolution. </FONT></P>

least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
provisions of Section&nbsp;203, combined with the Board of Directors' authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder action, could delay or frustrate a change of

to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The consideration may be cash or another form negotiated by the parties. Agents, underwriters or broker-dealers may be paid compensation for
offering and selling the securities. That compensation may be in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions to be received from us or from the purchasers of the securities. Dealers and agents
participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If such

offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. If an underwriter or underwriters
are used in the sale of securities, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter or underwriters at the time an agreement for the sale is reached. The applicable prospectus
supplement will set forth the managing underwriter or underwriters, as well as any other underwriter or underwriters, with respect to a particular underwritten offering of securities, and will set
