 3 Waterway Square Place, Suite 110, The Woodlands, Texas 77380. 2024 was an extraordinary year at Waste Connections by any number of measures, including safety performance, employee engagement and retention, acquisition activity, financial results, and, ultimately, value creation. The strength and consistency of operational execution resulting from continuous improvement in employee retention and safety metrics drove outsized financial results and positioned us for the successful completion and integration of record levels of private company acquisition activity. Our 2024 financial and operating performance, human capital and ESG updates, and the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting, are described in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement. As always, we look forward to connecting with our shareholders and responding to any questions you may have about the Company. Thank you for your ongoing support and continued interest in Waste Connections. RONALD J. MITTELSTAEDT
President, Chief Executive Officer and Director
