Casella Waste Systems is a waste management company based in Vermont. It offers recycling, landfill, energy, organics, collection, and special waste services to residential, commercial, municipal, and industrial customers in the northeast region of the US. The vertically integrated nature of Casella’s business and its focus on secondary and tertiary markets offers the company economies of scale. This moat is critical in the waste management industry that is commoditized and highly competitive. Additionally, building new landfills is not easy, and the pricing for existing landfills that Casella operates has the potential to grow. The long-term growth prospects of Casella Waste Systems are bright.
