CASELLA INC
WELLINGTON, FLORIDA

Casella Waste Systems, Inc., originally founded in 1975 as Casella's Refuse Removal in Rutland, Vermont, has evolved into a leading provider of waste management and resource renewal services. On an early spring day in April, Doug Casella initiated this enterprise using a pickup truck to serve customers in the Rutland and Killington region. The venture quickly garnered attention for its service quality, prompting John Casella to join just a year later, thereby formalizing their collaborative efforts. Recognized by the visionary principles embraced from New England’s frugality, the brothers built Vermont's first recycling facility in 1977, predicting the significant opportunities that lie in resource renewal. They conceived waste management as an integrated service encompassing collection, recycling, transfer, and disposal. This sustainable approach, catalyzed by changes in public policy, spurred rapid expansion across the northeastern United States. In 1997, Casella undertook a successful initial public offering, notably just days after a major stock market collapse, marking a milestone as one of the most triumphant IPOs within their industry. Today, it is publicly traded on NASDAQ under the symbol 'CWST'. Since the turn of the millennium, Casella has intensified its integration of resource renewal into its service offerings. It leads the waste management sector by advancing services and infrastructure aimed at environmental sustainability and economic viability. The modern Casella provides a holistic solution to waste management that includes generating renewable energy from waste materials and utilizing them as raw components for manufacturing. Serving an array of industries, they offer safe, reliable, and eco-friendly recycling solutions tailored to meet various business needs. With a rich history exceeding four decades, marked by customer-centric innovation and strategic growth, Casella continues to guide the waste management industry towards sustainable value creation. Its current operations in Florida include an active corporate status as a DOMP filed with Palm Beach County under company number P16000030843 and Fei Number 81-2235259. The entity is legally steered by its President, Virginia Casella.
