But with the rise in environmental awareness and creation of lengthy rules defining exactly what trash is and what isn't, waste management companies like the appropriately named Waste Management must now adhere to these strict guidelines and appear to be as green as Greenpeace when it comes to the environment.

The spot was created by Fogarty Klein Monroe and directed by Plum Productions' Eric Saarinen.
