Casella Waste Systems Inc. (CWST) presented its Q4 2020 financial results as well as figures for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
The company cited the resiliency of its business model and systems enhancements for its ability to respond to sales trends and market changes while executing its long-term growth strategy.
Volumes further rebounded in Q4 as commercial customers reopened, construction activity returned and economic activity moved in a positive direction for Casella’s secondary and rural markets in the Northeast.

Dive Brief:
Casella Waste Systems is continuing plans to expand its disposal capacity in the Northeastern U.S. to take advantage of a tightening market and anticipated price escalation in the region.
During its fourth quarter earnings call on Friday, CEO John Casella said the company plans to pursue new permit approvals to further activate its McKean Landfill in Pennsylvania. The upcoming closure of the Materials Innovation and Recycling Authority (MIRA) refuse-derived fuel facility in Connecticut is one factor that could put pressure on the regional disposal market, he said.
The company is also moving forward with other landfill expansions in the region, including ongoing development of the latest expansion at its Waste USA site in Vermont and bump up capacity at its Hyland site in New York from almost 470 tons a year to about 1 million tons.

Even with hundreds of billions of dollars in help potentially on the way to state and municipal operations, collection services are still expected to face worker absences and record levels of trash and recycling to manage.
The circumstances have required certain haulers and municipalities to at least temporarily change the services they offer. Still, some companies and governments are weighing imminent investments in new, customizable technologies aiming to make collection safer and more efficient, while lowering fleets’ environmental impact one of the buzziest and most capital-intensive areas being around electric trucks.
