Brandcast and Waste Connections

A Partnership Built for the Future

Utilizing Brandcast's state-of-the art Web Content System Waste Connections will cut operational costs, increase marketing efficiencies and maximize content effectiveness.

In 2021 we expect conversion rates to increase by 25% resulting increased dumpster rentals and higher market share in high-volume target areas.

Progress in Motion - Hybrid Garbage Truck

Take a look at this video created by the City of Frisco, Texas, featuring Waste Connection's brand new hybrid garbage truck. Did you know this truck is only 1 of 7 in the world, and the only one within the United States?

Our team in Frisco is proud to be the leader in making trash collection cleaner and greener.

Sustainability at Our Core

We recognize the importance to our stakeholders of our commitments to minimize our impact on the environment, invest in our employees, expand the positive impacts we have on the communities we serve, maintain the strong financial health of our Company, and increase returns to our shareholders. We view sustainability as an integral part of our business, with initiatives consistent with our objective of long-term value creation.

In 2020, we introduced fifteen-year aspirational sustainability targets, including generating additional offsets to our emissions, increasing resource recovery and on-site leachate management, and continuing improvement to our safety record, voluntary turnover and Servant Leadership scores. With over $500 million committed to achieve our targets, we look forward to providing regular updates on our key sustainability efforts similar to the updates we provide on financial results and other key performance metrics.

We also recognize that our employees identify and lead many of our sustainability efforts at a local level. As a result, the safety, welfare and development of our employees is critical. Our corporate culture is centered on the principles of Servant Leadership, which hold management accountable to employees in their professional and personal lives. We also dedicate a significant amount of management time and resources to leadership training and personnel development to improve the skills, promotability and career paths of our employees.
