SAN FRANCISCO — Waste Management Inc., the nation's biggest trash hauler, estimates the rubbish it carts off to landfills may be worth more than $40 billion a year in energy.

That's the value of fuel and chemicals the Houston-based company estimates could be extracted from the 112 million tons of trash it collected last year if the entire waste stream was diverted from landfills, said Carl Rush, senior vice president of Waste Management's Organic Growth unit. Waste Management Inc. receives $12.3 billion for hauling away all that trash.

About 82 percent of that rubbish currently is put into dumps.
