COMMUNITY IMPACT
We exist to be of Service to our customers and communities.
At Casella, we are driven to make a difference by investing in the communities where we live and work through community giving, employee volunteering, and educational outreach.
In 2023, we achieved and surpassed our community giving goal, contributing an estimated $2,200,000 in the form of charitable donations, local sponsorships, and in-kind services. We launched The Casella Foundation in 2024 to support non-profits focused on environmental and natural resource conservation. Beyond this primary focus, we also support organizations advancing neighborhood revitalization, workforce development, and disaster relief.
As part of our drive to make a difference in the communities where we live and work, our teams organize and execute volunteering events including disaster relief efforts, food drives, neighborhood clean-ups, mentor connections, and much more. The Community Champions Network leads these efforts, building our employee volunteering program, with a new goal to invest 21,000 hours per year of our time and expertise in our local communities.
As we work to build the necessary services and infrastructure, we know that sharing our knowledge and expertise across our operating footprint helps us to educate the communities we serve.
Each year, we share our technical knowledge by participating in community events, visiting local schools, lecturing in university classrooms, offering facility tours, serving on industry panels, meeting with municipal governments, testifying to state-level leaders, and more. We deliver education through our social media, blogs, and other outlets to aid our communities.
