          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section&#160;27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;Securities Act&#8221;), and Section&#160;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#8220;Exchange Act&#8221;). 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, &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;continue,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; and words of a similar nature. Such statements are only predictions and, accordingly, are subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">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 &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&#160;31, 2024 as updated by our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the SEC. 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>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">We are North America&#8217;s leading provider of comprehensive environmental solutions, providing services throughout the United States (&#8220;U.S.&#8221;) and Canada. We partner with our customers and the communities we serve to manage and reduce waste at each stage from collection to disposal, while recovering valuable resources and creating clean, renewable energy. We own or operate the largest network of landfills throughout the U.S. and Canada. In order to make disposal more practical for larger urban markets, where the distance to landfills is typically farther, we manage transfer stations that consolidate, compact and transport waste efficiently and economically. Our solid waste business is operated and managed locally by our subsidiaries that focus on distinct geographic areas and provide collection, transfer, disposal, recycling and resource recovery services. Through our subsidiaries, including our Waste Management Renewable Energy segment, we are also a leading developer, operator and owner of landfill gas-to-energy facilities in the U.S. and Canada that produce renewable electricity and renewable natural gas, which is a significant source of fuel that we allocate to our natural gas fleet. Additionally, we are a leading recycler in the U.S. and Canada, handling materials that include paper, cardboard, glass, plastic and metal. </font>

For these purposes, rental payments do not include any amounts required to be paid for taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance, assessments, utilities, operating and labor costs and other items that do not constitute payments for property rights. In the case of any lease that the lessee may terminate by paying a penalty, if the net amount (including payment of the penalty) would be reduced if the lessee terminated the lease on the first date that it could be terminated, then this lower net amount will be used. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">The distribution of securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, including block transactions and transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or any other organized market where the securities may be traded. The securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating 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 dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act. </font>

If required, we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and set forth any compensation payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. Any agent selling the securities covered by this prospectus may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities. </font>

          <font style="letter-spacing:0.2pt;">If underwriters are used in a sale, securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or under delayed delivery contracts or other contractual commitments. Securities may be 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 forth the terms of the transactions, including compensation of the underwriters and dealers and the public offering price, if applicable. The prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement will be used by the underwriters to resell the securities. </font>

A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the DGCL requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. </font>

Governance to WMI and Waste Management Holdings,&nbsp;Inc., a Delaware corporation (&ldquo;Holdings&rdquo;), in connection with the preparation

rights to purchase Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other securities, property or assets pursuant to one or more warrant
agreements (&ldquo;Warrant Agreements&rdquo;), and (v)&nbsp;units of WMI (&ldquo;Units&rdquo;) representing rights to, ownership of, or
undivided beneficial ownership interests in, Debt Securities, shares of Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock, debt obligations of third
parties or Warrants relating to any of the foregoing; and (b)&nbsp;guarantees that Holdings may issue with respect to Debt Securities
(&ldquo;Holdings Guarantees,&rdquo; and collectively with the WMI Securities, the &ldquo;Securities&rdquo;), all of which may be issued
and sold from time to time in one or more series. WMI has advised me that the Securities will be offered in amounts, at prices and on
terms to be determined in light of market conditions at the time of sale and to be set forth in supplements to the prospectus contained
in the Registration Statement to which this opinion is an exhibit.</P>
