Waste Connections of Canada

Waste Connections of Canada (formerly Progressive Waste Solutions) is one of Canada's largest full-service, vertically integrated waste management companies, providing non-hazardous solid waste collection, recycling and landfill disposal services to commercial, industrial, municipal and residential customers. In 2016, we merged with Waste Connections, Inc., becoming the third largest solid waste management company in North America with a network of operations in 39 states, six provinces and the District of Columbia. At Waste Connections of Canada, we pride ourselves on our strong commitment to creating a more sustainable future. Our environmental practices and technologies provide benefits including: organized, timely and safe waste removal from residential and business communities; diversion of waste from our landfills through our recycling facilities; and energy capture of landfill gases for productive use. Beyond meeting and exceeding regulatory expectations, we work constantly to identify best management practices that promote environmental sustainability. In all of our communities, this means engaging with regulators, engineers and industry experts to learn about and implement new waste management technologies. On a daily basis, we help homes and businesses come up with smart solutions for all of their waste needs.
