Diversity and Inclusion at Waste Connections

A place for everyone, When we're inclusive, we succeed.

No matter our differences, when we join together, we are greater than the sum of our parts. And in celebrating who we are, our experiences and our beliefs, we best thrive as both a culture and as a company.

We know that’s easier said than done. So, we put serious effort into the groups and programs that promote the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of our people. We believe in amplifying every voice – advancing underrepresented people in our organization and in their own careers.
