About Casella Waste Systems
Casella Waste Systems manages solid waste for communities and businesses across the northeastern United States. Its work spans collecting, transferring, disposing of, and recycling waste, along with handling organic waste streams. Customers include households, companies, municipalities, institutions, and industrial sites, and the company is known for running this full chain of waste handling as a single, connected operation rather than separate pieces.
The business is built around a network of facilities that carry waste from pickup through to final disposal, including collection operations, transfer stations, recycling centers, landfills, and landfill gas-to-energy sites, plus a facility for construction and demolition debris. Beyond managing waste directly, Casella sells recovered materials such as metals, plastics, and paper products like cardboard, drawing on output from its own recycling facilities as well as material bought from other suppliers. It also brokers waste-related commodities as part of its operations.
Casella Waste Systems was founded in 1975 and is based in Rutland, Vermont. Its shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker CWST.
