Overview
Waste Connections provides solid waste services, including collection, transfer, disposal, and recycling, primarily in exclusive and secondary markets across the U.S. and Canada. Their operations serve over six million customers, including residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, through a network that spans 39 states and six provinces. Additionally, their subsidiary, R360 Environmental Solutions, specializes in treating and disposing of non-hazardous oilfield waste in key natural resource areas. Unlike many competitors, Waste Connections focuses on secondary and suburban markets with strong growth potential, avoiding highly competitive urban areas. Their goal is to establish exclusive service arrangements and achieve high market share in targeted regions, with about half of their revenue coming from areas where they hold franchise rights.
