			REVERSE OF BOOK-ENTRY SECURITY
		

		
			 
		

		
			WASTE MANAGEMENT, INC.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.950% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2024
		

		
			 
		

		
			This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (the “Debt Securities”) of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Debt Securities. The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Security is one of a series designated as the 2.950% Senior Notes due 2024 of the Company, in initial aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 (the “Securities”).
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.           Interest.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of 2.950% per annum.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Company will pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 15, 2019. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the Securities, from May 22, 2019. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy laws) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) and on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate of 2.950% per annum, in each case to the extent lawful.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.           Method of Payment.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Company shall pay interest on the Securities (except Defaulted Interest) to the persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) may be paid to the persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, or in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may then be listed if such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee, as more fully provided in the Indenture. Except as provided below, the Company shall pay principal and interest in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”). Payments in respect of a Book-Entry Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. Payments in respect of Securities in definitive form (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, which initially will be at the corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon, located at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 21W, New York, New York, 10286 or at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders on the Regular Record Date or on the Special Record Date at their addresses set forth in the Security Register of Holders.
		

		
			 
		

		
			3.           Paying Agent and Registrar.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar at any time upon notice to the Trustee and the Holders. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, subject to certain exceptions, act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.
		

		
			 
		

		
			4.           Indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Debt Securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, as in effect on the date of the Indenture, and those terms stated in the Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee, duly authorized by resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company on April 10, 2019 (the “Resolutions”) and the written consents of the Sole Director of Waste Management Holdings, Inc. on April 22, 2019 and May 8, 2019 (the “Consents”). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Securities are referred to the Indenture, all indentures supplemental thereto, said Act, said Resolutions and said Consents and Officers’ Certificate for a statement of them. The Securities of this series are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited with an initial aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000.
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 





		

		
			 
		

		
			5.           Special Mandatory Redemption.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If the Merger is not completed on or prior to July 14, 2020, or if, on or prior to such date, the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason (each, a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Company shall redeem all of the Outstanding Securities in whole at a special mandatory Redemption Price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Securities, plus accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount of such Securities to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below).
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 5 Business Days following such Special Mandatory Redemption Event) notify the Trustee in writing of such event, and shall, no later than 5 Business Days following such notice to the Trustee, mail (or with respect to Securities in global form, to the extent permitted or required by applicable procedures or regulations of the Depository, send electronically) a notice of redemption to the registered address of each Holder of the Securities (such date of notification to the Holders, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Notice Date”) fixing the date of such mandatory redemption, which date will be no earlier than 3 Business Days and no later than 30 days from the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”), in each case, in accordance with Section 106 of the Indenture. The Company shall notify each Holder in accordance with Section 106 of the Indenture that all of such Outstanding Securities shall be redeemed at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date automatically and without any further action by the Holders of such Securities. At or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for such Securities. If such deposit is made as provided above, all of the Outstanding Securities will cease to bear interest on and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Upon the occurrence of the closing of the Merger, the foregoing provisions regarding the Special Mandatory Redemption Event will cease to apply.
		

		
			 
		

		
			For purposes of this Section 5, “Merger Agreement” means the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 14, 2019 by and among the Company, Everglades Merger Sub Inc. and Advanced Disposal Services, Inc., as such agreement may be amended or modified from time to time, and “Merger” means the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.           Optional Redemption.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Before the Par Call Date, the Securities will be redeemable and repayable, at the option of the Company, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a Redemption Price (the “Make-Whole Price”) equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed; or (ii) the sum, as calculated by the Company, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities that would be due if such Securities matured on the Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Yield plus 12.5 basis points; plus, in either case, accrued interest to the Redemption Date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			On or after the Par Call Date, the Securities will be redeemable and repayable, at the option of the Company, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued interest on the Securities to be redeemed to the Redemption Date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Securities called for redemption become due on the Redemption Date. Notices of redemption will be mailed at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of record of the Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the Securities will state, among other things, the amount of Securities to be redeemed, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price or, if not ascertainable, the manner of determining the Make-Whole Price and the place(s) that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of Securities to be redeemed. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Make-Whole Price, interest will cease to accrue on any Securities that have been called for redemption at the Redemption Date. If less than all the Securities are redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed on a pro rata basis or by any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate (or with respect to Securities in global form, by such method as the Depository may require).
		

		
			 
		

		
			For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Price, the following definitions are applicable:
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Treasury Yield” means, with respect to any Redemption Date applicable to the Securities, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third Business Day immediately preceding such Redemption Date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the applicable Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 





		

		
			 
		

		
			“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities, calculated as if the maturity date of such Securities were the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”), that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life of the Securities.

			7.           Change of Control Offer.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Securities as described in Section 6, or a Special Mandatory Redemption Event has occurred prior to such date as described in Section 5, the Company shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Securities to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Securities on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased (a “Change of Control Payment”), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased to the date of repurchase, subject to the right of holders of record on the applicable record date to receive interest due on the next Interest Payment Date.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to Holders of the Securities describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Securities on the date specified in the applicable notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (a “Change of Control Payment Date”).

			             deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities properly tendered; and

			The Company need not make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party repurchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Securities if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Company will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of this Security, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of this Security by virtue of any such conflict.
		

		
			 
		

		
			For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities, the following terms are applicable:
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or more series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or the Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person, measured by voting power rather than number of shares, immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or (4) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Notwithstanding the preceding, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company. The term ‘‘person,’’ as used in this definition, has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

			“Rating Event” means the rating on the Securities is lowered by at least two of the three Rating Agencies and the Securities are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by at least two of the three Rating Agencies, in any case on any day during the period (which period will be extended so long as the rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the rating agencies) commencing 60 days prior to the first public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control.
		

		
			 
		

		
			“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., and its successors.
		

		
			 
		

		
			“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified ‘‘person’’ (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.
		

		
			 
		

		
			8.           Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Securities are issued in registered form, without coupons, in a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer of, or exchange, Securities in accordance with the Indenture. The Securities Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
		

		
			 
		

		
			9.           Person Deemed Owners.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
		

		
			 
		

		
			10.         Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented, and any existing Event of Default or compliance with any provision may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected. Without consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the interests of any Holder of a Security in any material respect. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Security and any Securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities.
		

		
			 
		

		
			11.         Defaults and Remedies.
		

		
			 
		

		
			If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding may declare the principal amount of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, if at any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue interest on all Securities, (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate prescribed therefor herein, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate prescribed therefor herein, and (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and (2) all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Securities, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Securities which has become due solely by such declaration acceleration, shall have been cured or shall have been waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 





		

		
			 
		

		
			12.         Trustee Dealings with Company.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company and its Affiliates and any subsidiary of the Company’s Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company and its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

			Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Note Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such number as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.
		

		
			 
		

		
			16.         Absolute Obligation.
		

		
			 
		

		
			No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.
		

		
			 
		

		
			17.         No Recourse.
		

		
			 
		

		
			No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in any Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, past, present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Security by the Holder and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Security.

The amount of the Guarantee will be limited to the extent required under applicable fraudulent conveyance laws to cause the Guarantee to be enforceable. The terms and conditions of the Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of holders of the Securities until release thereof as set forth in Section 6 of the Guarantee.
		

		
			 
		

		
			20.         Satisfaction and Discharge.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The Securities will be subject to Section 401 of the Indenture; provided, however, that solely with respect to the Securities, the following sentence shall be added to the end of Section 401(1)(B) of the Indenture: “(provided that, upon any redemption that requires the payment of any make-whole or other premium, (x) the amount of cash that must be deposited shall be determined using an assumed applicable premium calculated as of the date of such deposit and (y) the Company shall deposit any deficit in trust on or prior to the Redemption Date as necessary to pay the applicable premium as determined by such date)”.
