About us

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.

  • February is recognized as American Heart Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular health. It is important to prioritize self-care in order to maintain a healthy heart. Engaging in regular physical activity, adopting a balanced and nutritious diet, ensuring adequate sleep, refraining from smoking, and implementing effective stress management techniques are all key factors in preventing heart disease. By actively caring for our own hearts, we inspire others to follow suit and prioritize their cardiovascular well-being. #americanheartmonth #wasteconnections

  • With the arrival of February, we enter a time of reflection and appreciation for Black History Month. Originating during the challenging era of Jim Crow, this tradition received official recognition in 1976 as part of our nation's bicentennial celebrations. Its noble aim is to pay homage to the immense contributions and sacrifices made by African Americans. President Gerald Ford's call to honor the often overlooked accomplishments of Black Americans continues to resonate today. Let us unite in recognizing February as an opportunity for fostering greater understanding and empathy, as we delve into the rich tapestry of our shared history. #BlackHistoryMonth #WasteConnections
