|||
==History== |
|||
In the 1890s, Ham Huizenga, a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[immigrant]], began hauling garbage at $1.25/wagon in [[Chicago]]. In 1968, [[Wayne Huizenga]], [[Dean Buntrock]], and Larry Beck founded Waste Management, Inc. and began aggressively purchasing many of the smaller [[waste collection|garbage collection]] services across the country. In 1971, Waste Management went public, and by 1972, the company had made 133 acquisitions with $82M in [[revenue]]. It had 60,000 commercial and industrial accounts and 600,000 residential customers in 19 states and the provinces of [[Ontario]] and [[Quebec]]. In the 1980s, WM acquired [[Service Corp of America]] (SCA) to become the largest waste hauler in the country. |
|||
'''Hamish & Andy''' are an [[Australia]]n [[comedy duo]], consisting of [[Hamish Blake]] and [[Andy Lee (comedian)|Andy Lee]]. The name ''Hamish & Andy'', occasionally written with the word 'and' in lieu of the ampersand, has also been used as the name of a television show and a radio program starring the duo. |
|||
In 1998, in a pivotal development point, WM merged with [[USA Waste]] and moved its headquarters from [[Chicago]] to [[Houston]]. The merged companies retained the WM brand. However, that year also brought trouble for the newly expanded company, in the form of an accounting scandal. |
|||
==Early days== |
|||
[[Image:2008-07-12 Green WM trash container in Durham.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A Waste Management rolloff container in [[Durham, North Carolina]].]] |
|||
The two met at Dubbo High School but became friends while studying commerce at the [[University of Melbourne]], and entered comedy competitions. The pair spent countless hours presenting numerous programs on the Melbourne youth radio station - the [[Student Youth Network]]. They developed a [[sketch show]] called ''Radio Karate'' for community television station [[C31 Melbourne|Channel 31]], which caught the attention of [[Seven Network]] boss Ian Johnson. |
|||
==Media== |
|||
In November 1999, turn-around CEO [[Maury Myers]] was brought in to help Waste Management recover. The company has since implemented new technologies, safety standards, and operational practices, and is on a steady upward climb. |
|||
===Seven Network=== |
|||
The duo then presented ''The Hamish And Andy Show'' which aired on the Seven Network in March 2005. It mixed casual talk and [[sketch comedy]]. It featured a number of actors from the sketch show [[Big Bite]], and continued many of its recurring sketches. The two became known as Hamish & Andy, and have since been referred to as such in all their appearances together. Hamish & Andy began work with the Seven Network on the day Lee finished his last exam at Melbourne Uni. Unfortunately the show was a ratings disaster, with reviewers acknowledging their talent but describing the show as "poorly structured".<ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/news/culture/hamish-amp-andy/2007/04/02/1175366136794.html?page=4 The Age: Hamish & Andy]</ref> As a result, the show was axed after only two weeks. |
|||
They soon developed a relationship with [[Rove McManus]], and began working with his production company, [[Roving Enterprises]]. |
|||
In 2003, the company had generated $1 billion in free cash and was returning profits to shareholders in the form of [[dividends]].<ref>{{cite web |author=The Motley Fool |title=Talking Trash |url=http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2003/09/11/talking-trash.aspx |accessdate=2007-06-03}}</ref> |

On August 15, 2008, Republic Services, Inc. denied Waste Management's bid for a second time. |
|||
Hamish & Andy were offered an unpaid late-night shift on radio station [[Fox FM]]. The station warmed to the duo, and they went on to host the ''Almost Midday'' show on Saturdays. |
|||
As ratings improved for the pair, it was announced that in 2006 they would have their own weekday drive program from 4 to 6pm. Titled ''[[Hamish & Andy (radio show)|The Hamish & Andy Show]]'', this show is simultaneously broadcast by other [[Today Network]] radio stations in [[Perth, Western Australia|Perth]] ([[92.9]]), [[Adelaide]] ([[SAFM]]), [[Sydney]] ([[2Day FM]]), [[Brisbane]] ([[B105]]), [[Newcastle]] ([[NXFM]]) and [[Canberra]] ([[104.7]]) and is replayed in a highlights package on Saturdays from 7 to 9am. |

Waste management specializes in environmental protection, groundwater protection,environmental engineering, and air and gas management. Waste management has helped to create new landfills, called bioreactor landfills, that better the environment{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. The bioreactor landfill is a waste treatment landfill with technology that accelerates the decomposition of organic wastes in a landfill. This is accomplished by controlling the addition and removal of moisture from the waste mass, the collection and extraction of landfill gas, and in some instances the addition of air.<ref>[http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/non-hw/muncpl/landfill/bioreactors.htm Bioreactors | Waste | US EPA<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Like wind and solar power, landfill gas is a natural resource that can be harnessed to produce clean energy{{Fact|date=May 2008}}. Waste Management's landfill gas-to-energy program is a vital and important part of North America's drive to develop alternative energy sources and promote environmental sustainability.{{Fact|date=May 2008}} |
|||
==Notable activities== |
|||
Waste Management currently operates ten full-scale waste treatment landfill projects in the U.S. and Canada. Waste Management is one of the largest private holders of greenhouse gas emission reduction credits in the United States. In 2005, W.M. reduced greenhouse gas emissions by |

about 3.8 million tons.{{Fact|date=May 2008}} They have also replaced nearly 500 diesel-fueled trucks with vehicles that run on 100 percent clean-burning natural gas. These new garbage and recycling trucks comprise one of the nation’s largest fleets of heavy-duty trucks powered exclusively by natural gas.<ref>[http://www.wm.com/wm/WM_SRR_2006.pdf Layout 1<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

{{main|Fred Basset (greyhound)}} |

As part of their radio show, Hamish had previously placed an $860 bet on Andy winning Cleo Bachelor of the Year, which he called a 'glamour-quest'. As a result, Hamish won over $12,000, which he put towards buying a greyhound for the radio show. The greyhound is named '[[Fred Basset]]' after one of Hamish's segments on the show, much to the disdain of Andy. |

In late 2007 [[Hamish and Andy]] hired a caravan and embarked on the 'Caravan Of Courage'. So significant was the trip that the letter O at the start of 'Of' was a capital. The boys planned a road trip from the West Coast to the Far East Coast of Australia. They travelled 4000 kilometres in 10 days, stopping to broadcast the show from several rural towns and communities. |
|||
WMI used aggressive [[marketing]] to try to turn the company around in the 1990s, with [[slogans]] like: “What business do we have saying we help the environment? That is our business.“{{Fact|date=April 2008}} and "Waste Management, helping the world dispose of its problems."{{Fact|date=April 2008}} The current slogan is “From everyday collection, to environmental protection, think green. Think Waste Management.“ They also are featured in a [[Walt Disney World]] [[Epcot]] attraction, [[Innoventions]]. |

Hamish & Andy are an Australian comedy duo, consisting of Hamish Blake and Andy Lee. The name Hamish & Andy, occasionally written with the word 'and' in lieu of the ampersand, has also been used as the name of a television show and a radio program starring the duo.
Early days
The two met at Dubbo High School but became friends while studying commerce at the University of Melbourne, and entered comedy competitions. The pair spent countless hours presenting numerous programs on the Melbourne youth radio station - the Student Youth Network. They developed a sketch show called Radio Karate for community television station Channel 31, which caught the attention of Seven Network boss Ian Johnson.

Hamish & Andy began work with the Seven Network on the day Lee finished his last exam at Melbourne Uni. Unfortunately the show was a ratings disaster, with reviewers acknowledging their talent but describing the show as "poorly structured".[1] As a result, the show was axed after only two weeks.
