Waste Connections, Inc. held its 2026 annual shareholders meeting on May 15, 2026, where investors elected all eight director nominees to serve until the next annual meeting or earlier resignation. Support was strong, with most directors receiving more than 90% of votes cast, although one nominee, Susan “Sue” Lee, received a lower but still majority level of support.
Shareholders also approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the Company’s executive compensation (“Say-on-Pay”), and ratified Grant Thornton LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for 2026, authorizing the board to set its fees. These results largely maintain the Company’s existing governance, leadership and compensation structures.

GAAP net income declined to $219.3 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, from $241.5 million, or $0.93, primarily due to $80.4 million in impairments related to landfill closure and post-closure cost adjustments. Adjusted net income increased to $314.9 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, from $293.1 million, or $1.13.
The company generated adjusted free cash flow of $245.9 million, down from $332.1 million, as higher capital expenditures more than offset stable operating cash flow. Management highlighted record safety performance, lower voluntary turnover, expanding use of A.I., a robust acquisition pipeline, and year-to-date share repurchases of over $360 million, or about 1% of shares outstanding.

He will receive standard non-employee director compensation, pro-rated for his partial term, and will enter into the company’s standard indemnification agreement.
