Casella Waste Systems Inc (NASDAQ: CWST) is a solid waste management company that collects, transfers, disposes of, and recycles solid waste across the northeastern United States. Revenue comes from collection service fees charged to residential, commercial, and industrial customers, landfill disposal fees, transfer station fees, and recycling commodity sales. The company operates an integrated network of collection routes, transfer stations, landfills, and recycling facilities, giving it regional density advantages in markets where permitted disposal capacity is scarce. The filing was made on 2026-02-20 as a 10-K for the fiscal year ended in that reporting period, and the company is headquartered in the northeastern U.S. and listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Capital intensity is high given the infrastructure required to own and operate landfills and transfer stations. The business is transactional at the service level with recurring contract characteristics in commercial and residential collection.
