Description: GFL Gfl Environmental Holdings October 30, 2025
GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE:GFL) is a North-American provider of non-hazardous solid waste and environmental services, operating through two primary segments: Solid Waste and Environmental Services. Its core offerings include municipal and commercial waste hauling, landfill and transfer station operations, material recovery facilities, as well as liquid waste management and soil remediation for residential, commercial, and industrial clients. The company was incorporated in 2007 and is headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario.
Recent performance indicators suggest the firm is scaling rapidly: FY 2023 reported revenue of approximately US$5.2 billion, reflecting a 14 % year-over-year increase driven largely by organic growth in the U.S. Midwest and strategic acquisitions in Canada. EBITDA margins have stabilized around 12 %, while the tonnage of waste processed grew to roughly 30 million tons, indicating strong demand elasticity in the waste-to-energy and recycling subsectors. Key economic drivers include tightening municipal waste regulations, rising landfill tipping fees, and the broader ESG push that encourages corporate clients to outsource sustainable waste solutions.
