Casella Waste Systems

25 Greens Hill Lane , Rutland, Vermont, United States

Casella Waste Systems was founded in 1975 as a single truck operation in Rutland, Vermont. Our existing footprint stems from a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions.Until the late 1990’s, our growth was focused in the northeast United States with a mission to address our region’s waste management challenges intelligently, through an integrated solid waste platform, including waste collection, transfer, disposal, and recycling processing.In late 1999, Casella acquired KTI, an integrated provider of waste processing services, and our footprint was extended to cover much of the eastern United States. The KTI acquisition greatly expanded our expertise and assets in material processing.In 2002, we recognized that additional in-market disposal capacity was required to meet a large, unmet need in the northeast. To develop capacity, we sought to differentiate ourselves in the solid waste market by linking recycling and other leading-edge resource transformation solutions to the solid waste disposal needs of municipalities.Our SEED™ (Sustainable Environmental and Economic Development) program was conceived of and implemented as a framework to develop disposal capacity in a responsible manner in which the interests of all stakeholders are aligned. With the implementation of our SEED™ program, we have built sustainable infrastructure around our disposal projects that adds economic and environmental value beyond the traditional landfill model.The concept of sustainability is not new to Casella. For over thirty years the foundation of our business has been built on managing and conserving environmental resources for our customers and communities in a viable economic model. In 1977, we built and opened the first recycling center in Vermont, an early implementation of an environmentally and socially sustainable component to our overall business model.Today, we are leading the solid waste industry with an innovative business strategy that seeks to create sustainable value beyond the traditional disposal model. We view waste as a resource for producing renewable energy and a raw material for manufacturing new products.

Recycling

We live in a closed-loop environment. Everything is connected.

The concept of managing solid waste means giving trash new purpose and a new life. It’s about turning waste into a resource.From our first recycling center in Vermont in 1977, to our current platform of recycling facilities serving 7 states, Casella has pioneered the recycling processing field. Today, Casella is leading the industry with investments in recycling infrastruture, research and development driving the next generation of recycling technologies, and innovative recycling programs that are making recycling easier for our customers.
