Environmental stewardship and the needs of the communities we serve have made modern waste management one of the most technologically demanding, capital-intensive industries in America. Casella develops and operates state-of-the-art, regional disposal facilities that provide a smarter, more responsible approach to protecting our natural resources and the environment. With a focused strategy of developing disposal capacity through public partnerships, and using our unique ability to link recycling and other sustainable environmental opportunities, we can not only meet, but exceed, the needs and expectations of the communities we serve. Through sustainable environmental and economic development (SEED™), we're taking a new look at the waste stream; reshaping the traditional role of a landfill—from a place where things go when we’re done with them—into a basis for building renewable energy sources that revitalize local economies. We’re aggressively working to develop our Culchrome™ technology enabling us to turn mountains of glass into usable brown bottles. Gas regeneration projects, currently under way or in the planning stages, are extracting methane gas from the landfill, piping it to a generating station and lighting up neighborhoods and businesses—all while reducing our greenhouse gas footprint. Every day, this type of creative thinking is redrawing the waste management landscape, providing leadership to our industry, convenience to our customers and making us an indispensable, long-term partner to communities we serve.
