WCA Waste Corporation provides end-to-end non-hazardous solid waste management services. It covers the entire waste lifecycle, including collection, transfer, processing, and disposal, and offers containers for rent for commercial construction, demolition, and industrial jobs. Its operations span collection fleets, transfer stations, material recovery facilities (MRFs), and landfills, enabling customers to manage waste from pickup to final disposal in a single network. The company differentiates itself through vertical integration: owning and operating a coordinated network of assets across multiple states (Texas, Missouri, Florida, and surrounding regions) to handle diverse waste streams and provide comprehensive, single-source solutions. WCA’s goal is to deliver scalable, end-to-end waste management services and expand its geographic footprint, a strategy that continued under GFL Environmental Inc. after the 2020 acquisition to broaden presence in the Midwest and Southeast.

GFL Environmental launches two RNG facilities with OPAL Fuels to power 800 heavy-duty trucks

OPAL Fuels and GFL Environmental have begun construction on two renewable natural gas facilities at landfills in Georgia and Alabama. The projects will convert landfill methane into approximately 15 million gasoline gallon equivalents of RNG annually, enough to fuel roughly 800 Class 8 trucks. The expansion deepens GFL's partnership with OPAL Fuels in decarbonising transportation and building RNG infrastructure. However, the development doesn't substantially alter GFL's near-term investment narrative, which remains focused on integrating past acquisitions, managing high leverage and delivering on 2026 revenue guidance. GFL recently authorised share buybacks of up to 34.7 million shares and increased its dividend by 10%. Analysts project the company's revenue could reach CA$8.6 billion by 2029, implying 8.8% annual growth.
