  • Company snapshots: WM offers collection, transfer and landfill operations and produces landfill gas used as renewable natural gas; GFL provides non‑hazardous solid and liquid waste management and soil remediation in Canada and the U.S.; and CTOS rents and sells specialty equipment and parts to utilities, telecom, rail, forestry and waste customers.
