This concurrent resolution congratulates Casella Waste Systems, Inc. on its 50th anniversary, highlighting the company's remarkable journey from a small garbage collection business started by Doug Casella in 1975 with a single pickup truck to a major waste management and sustainability enterprise. The resolution traces the company's significant milestones, including launching Vermont's first recycling facility in 1977, going public on NASDAQ in 1997, and growing to over 5,000 employees operating in 10 states and serving more than 1 million customers across 46 states. It also recognizes the company's environmental achievements, such as being a charter member of the EPA's Climate Leaders program, establishing an electric vehicle fleet, partnering with the University of Vermont to create a Circular Economy and Sustainability research center, and being named to Forbes Magazine's Best Midsized Employers list. The resolution additionally acknowledges the Casella Foundation's philanthropic efforts, which include contributing over $2 million annually to local communities and supporting employee volunteer work. The document concludes by officially congratulating the company and directing the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Casella Waste Systems, Inc.
