Waste Connections, Inc. is the third-largest provider of non-hazardous solid waste collection, transfer, disposal, and recycling services in North America, operating across 46 states in the U.S. and six Canadian provinces. The company also offers specialized non-hazardous waste treatment, recovery, and disposal services for the oil and natural gas exploration and production (E&P) sector, alongside intermodal services in the Pacific Northwest. Waste Connections focuses on secondary and rural markets, often securing exclusive contracts and leveraging vertical integration from collection through disposal. Its decentralized management structure allows for localized decision-making and efficient operations, particularly in smaller communities that larger competitors may overlook. The company's growth strategy is driven by both internal initiatives and a disciplined approach to acquiring additional waste businesses.

Revenue is primarily driven by fees charged for non-hazardous solid waste collection, transfer, disposal, and recycling services, as well as E&P waste treatment, recovery, and disposal services. Landfill and transfer station revenues are generated through tipping fees, while recycling revenues come from the sale of commodities. Other revenues include landfill gas sales and intermodal services.
