Former Employee Sentenced for Defrauding Waste Management

SEATTLE (Waste 360):Donna Alms was recently sentenced to three years in prison after she pleaded guilty in January 2018 to wire fraud and money laundering charges.

The 55-year-old Las Vegas woman was a former operations specialist for Waste Management on the Big Island of Hawaii. She was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for defrauding Waste Management of $862,722 over the course of four years.

According to court documents, Alms admitted that she inflated 247 invoices submitted to Waste Management by a vendor by cutting and pasting numbers onto a template that she maintained. Alms’ activities caused Waste Management to pay the vendor $862,722 in costs above what was actually billed.
