The efforts of Waste Connections, our employees and our vendors are focused on helping local organizations that support children at risk, women at risk, racial equality, and veterans - to improve their quality of life.
We, at Waste Connections, go beyond supporting just our customers and our people. We are also fortunate to have the ability to improve the lives of the people and causes we are passionate about in our communities.
At our annual Christmas bike-building drive, employees, families and friends assemble thousands of bicycles for local charities, first responders and military bases. To date, we’ve donated an estimated 65,000+ bikes.
Our charity event raises over one million dollars annually to benefit specific non-profit organizations focusing mostly on youth, families and our military. Each year, we welcome vendors and friends who support the event from across North America to The Woodlands, home to Waste Connections’ principal administrative offices.
We help employees, and their immediate families, who have experienced significant financial hardship following a natural disaster or other catastrophic events. Since then, we’ve donated nearly $700,000 in funding.
