About the company

GFL Environmental is a North American waste services company with vertically integrated operations that collect, haul, transfer, recycle, and dispose of waste. It owns and runs a network of transfer stations, material recovery facilities, landfills, and liquid-waste treatment plants to control processes and costs. Revenue comes from municipal, commercial, and industrial service contracts, tipping fees, and sales of recovered recyclables; solid waste is the largest segment, with liquid waste management also serving hazardous and non-hazardous materials, and soil remediation was divested in 2025 to focus on core activities. The company grows by acquiring other companies to build market density across Canada and the United States, and its goal is to provide reliable, cost-efficient waste services at scale while reducing debt and expanding its solid waste footprint.

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.
