Casella Waste Systems, Inc. and its predecessor companies were founded in 1975 as Casella’s Refuse Removal. On a chilly day in early April, Doug Casella began picking up garbage from a few customers in the region with a pickup truck he had bought with money saved from jobs he’d had as a kid in high school. Because the service was good, the small enterprise grew, and John Casella joined his younger brother a year later to help run the business.

Today, with a clear strategy to serve our customers with integrated services, we continue to lead the solid waste industry with an innovative business strategy that seeks to create sustainable value beyond the traditional waste disposal model. We view waste as a resource for producing renewable energy and as a raw material for manufacturing new products.
And, just like our early days, we believe that if the service is good, the enterprise will thrive.
