About the company
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.
