 Exhibit 10.5 

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT 
 This
Indemnity Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of                         , 2012 (the
“Effective Date”) by and between (i) Advanced Disposal Waste Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
(ii)                         , a director, officer or key employee of the Company or one of the Company’s
subsidiaries or other service provider who satisfies the definition of Indemnifiable Person set forth below (“Indemnitee”). 

RECITALS 
 A. The
Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to serve as representatives of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability insurance and indemnification, due to increased exposure to
litigation costs and risks resulting from their service to such corporations, and due to the fact that the exposure frequently bears no relationship to the compensation of such representatives; 

B. The members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) have concluded that to retain and attract
talented and experienced individuals to serve as representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (each as defined below) and to encourage such individuals to take the business risks necessary for the success of the Company and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates, it is necessary for the Company to contractually indemnify certain of its representatives and the representatives of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and to assume for itself maximum liability for Expenses and Other
Liabilities (each as defined below) in connection with claims against such representatives in connection with their service to the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates; 

C. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Section 145”), empowers the Company to indemnify by
agreement its officers, directors, employees and agents, and persons who serve at the request of the Company as directors, officers, employees or agents of other corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, trusts or other enterprises, and expressly
provides that the indemnification provided thereby is not exclusive; and 
 D. The Company desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve or
continue to serve as a representative of the Company and/or the Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Company free from undue concern about inappropriate claims for damages arising out of or related to such service to the Company and/or the Subsidiaries
or Affiliates of the Company.

Now, therefore, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other

limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, and other out-of-pocket costs), paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection with either the investigation, defense or appeal of, or being a witness in a Proceeding (as defined below),
or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, Section 145 or otherwise; provided, however, that Expenses shall not include any judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties or amounts paid in settlement

 (j) “Subsidiary” means any corporation of which more than 50% of the outstanding voting
securities is owned directly or indirectly by the Company. 
 Section 2. Agreement to Serve. The Indemnitee agrees to serve
and/or continue to serve as an Indemnifiable Person in the capacity or capacities in which Indemnitee currently serves the Company as an Indemnifiable Person, and any additional capacity in which Indemnitee may agree to serve, until such time as
Indemnitee’s service in a particular capacity shall end according to the terms of an agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, governing law, or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create
any right to continued employment or other form of service for the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company by Indemnitee. 

Section 3. Mandatory Indemnification. 

(a) Agreement to Indemnity. In the event Indemnitee is a person who was or is a party to or witness in or is threatened to be made a
party to or witness or otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of an Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee from and against any and all Expenses and Other Liabilities incurred by Indemnitee in connection with (including
in preparation for) such Proceeding to the fullest extent not prohibited by the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), as the same may be amended from time to time (but,
with respect to any amendment to the Company’s Bylaws, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior to the adoption of such amendment). 

(b) Exception for Amounts Covered by Insurance and Other Sources. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to
indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses or Other Liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to judgments, fines, penalties, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) to the extent such have been paid directly to
Indemnitee (or paid directly to a third party on Indemnitee’s behalf) by any directors and officers insurance, fiduciary liability insurance or any other type of insurance maintained by the Company or by other indemnity arrangements with third
parties. 
 Section 4. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to
indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Expenses or Other Liabilities but not entitled, however, to indemnification for the total amount of such Expenses or Other Liabilities, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee
for such total amount except as to the portion thereof to which indemnification is prohibited by the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws or the DGCL. In any review or Proceeding to determine the extent of indemnification, the Company shall bear
the burden to establish, by clear and convincing evidence, the lack of a successful resolution of a particular claim, issue or matter and which amounts sought in indemnity are allocable to claims, issues or matters which were not successfully
resolved. 

  
 -3- 

 Section 5. Liability Insurance. So long as Indemnitee shall continue to serve the
Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company as an Indemnifiable Person and thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed Proceeding as a result of an Indemnifiable Event, the
Company shall use reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect for the benefit of Indemnitee as an insured (i) liability insurance issued by one or more reputable insurers and having the policy amount and deductible deemed
appropriate by the Board and providing in all respects coverage at least comparable to and in the same amount as that being provided to the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer of the Company when
such insurance is purchased, and (ii) any replacement or substitute policies issued by one or more reputable insurers providing in all respects coverage at least comparable to and in the same amount as that being provided to the Chairman of the
Board, the Chief Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer of the Company when such replacement or substitute policies are purchased. The purchase, establishment and maintenance of any such insurance or other arrangements shall not in
any way limit or affect the rights and obligations of the Company or of Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or
affect the rights and obligations of the Company or the other party or parties thereto under any such insurance or other arrangement. 

Section 6. Mandatory Advancement of Expenses. If requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall advance prior to the final disposition
of the Proceeding all Expenses actually incurred by Indemnitee in connection with (including in preparation for) a Proceeding related to an Indemnifiable Event. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced if, and only if and to the
extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Bylaws or the DGCL. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the
Company to Indemnitee or directly to a third party designated by Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company. Indemnitee’s undertaking to repay any Expenses advanced to
Indemnitee hereunder shall be unsecured and shall not be subject to the accrual or payment of any interest thereon. 
 Section 7.
Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures. 
 (a) Notification/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Promptly following the time that
Indemnitee has notice of the commencement of or the threat of commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if Indemnitee believes that indemnification or advancement of Expenses with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this
Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof. However, a failure so to notify the Company promptly following Indemnitee’s receipt of such notice shall not relieve the Company from any liability that it may
have to Indemnitee except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced in its defense of such Proceeding as a result of such failure. In addition, Indemnitee shall cooperate with, and provide information to, the Company as it may
reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power. 
 (b) Insurance and Other Matters. If, at the time of the receipt
of a notice of the commencement of a Proceeding pursuant to Section 7(a) above, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the issuers in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all reasonable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance
with the terms of such insurance policies. 

  
 -4- 

 (c) Assumption of Defense. In the event the Company shall be obligated to advance the
Expenses for any Proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company, if deemed appropriate by the Company, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding as provided herein. Such defense by the Company may include the representation of two or
more parties by one attorney or law firm as permitted under the ethical rules and legal requirements related to joint representations. Following delivery of written notice to Indemnitee of the Company’s election to assume the defense of such
Proceeding, the approval by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of counsel designated by the Company and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for
any fees and expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding. If (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, or (ii) the Company fails to employ
counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be subject to indemnification and/or advancement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall prevent Indemnitee from
employing counsel for any such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense or providing the Company with information indicating that there may be a conflict of interest in the conduct of any such defense between (A) the Company and Indemnitee or
(B) Indemnitee and any other party or parties being jointly represented. 
 (d) Settlement. The Company shall not be liable to
indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent, provided, however, that if a Change in Control has occurred, the Company shall be liable
for indemnification of Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if the Independent Counsel has approved the settlement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company shall enter into a settlement of any Proceeding that might
result in the imposition of any Expense, Other Liability, penalty, limitation or detriment on Indemnitee, whether indemnifiable under this Agreement or otherwise, without Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall
unreasonably withhold consent from any settlement of any Proceeding. 
 Section 8. Determination of Right to Indemnification.

 (a) Success on the Merits or Otherwise. To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any Proceeding referred to in Section 3(a) above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter described therein, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against Expenses and Other Liabilities actually and reasonably incurred in connection
therewith. 
 (b) Indemnification in Other Situations. In the event that Section 8(a) is inapplicable, the Company shall also
indemnify Indemnitee if he or she has not failed to meet the applicable standard of conduct for indemnification. 
 (c) Forum.
Indemnitee shall be entitled to select the forum in which determination of whether or not Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct shall be decided, and such election will be made from among the following: 

(1) those members of the Board who are Independent Directors even though less than a quorum; 

(2) by a committee of Independent Directors designated by a majority vote of Independent Directors, even though less than a quorum; or 

  
 -5- 

 (3) Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Board, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, which Independent Counsel shall make such determination in a written opinion. 
 If Indemnitee is an officer or a director of
the Company at the time that Indemnitee is selecting the forum, then Indemnitee shall not select Independent Counsel as such forum unless there are no Independent Directors or unless the Independent Directors agree to the selection of Independent
Counsel as the forum. The selected forum shall be referred to herein as the “Reviewing Party.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, following any Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be Independent Counsel selected in the
manner provided in clause (3) above. 
 (d) As soon as practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt by
the Company of written notice of Indemnitee’s choice of forum pursuant to Section 8(c) above, the Company and Indemnitee shall each submit to the Reviewing Party such information as they believe is appropriate for the Reviewing Party to
consider. The Reviewing Party shall arrive at its decision within a reasonable period of time following the receipt of all such information from the Company and Indemnitee, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the receipt of
all such information, provided that the time by which the Reviewing Party must reach a decision may be extended by mutual agreement of the Company and Indemnitee. All Expenses associated with the process set forth in this Section 8(d),
including but not limited to the Expenses of the Reviewing Party, shall be paid by the Company. 
 (e) Delaware Court of Chancery.
Notwithstanding a final determination by any Reviewing Party that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification with respect to a specific Proceeding, Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to the Court of Chancery, for the purpose of enforcing
Indemnitee’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (f) Expenses. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee
against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any hearing or Proceeding under this Section 8 involving Indemnitee and against all Expenses and Other Liabilities incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any other Proceeding
between the Company and Indemnitee involving the interpretation or enforcement of the rights of Indemnitee under this Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds that each of the material claims of Indemnitee in any such Proceeding was
frivolous or made in bad faith. 
 (g) Determination of “Good Faith.” For purposes of any determination of whether
Indemnitee acted in “good faith,” Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if in taking or failing to take the action in question Indemnitee relied on the records or books of account of the Company or a
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, including financial statements, or on information, opinions, reports or statements provided to Indemnitee by the officers or other employees of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company in the
course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company by an independent
certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or by any other person (including legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors) as to matters Indemnitee
reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. In connection with any determination as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be
indemnified hereunder, or to advancement of Expenses, the Reviewing Party or the court shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be,
and the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish, by clear 

  
 -6- 

 
and convincing evidence, that Indemnitee is not so entitled. The provisions of this Section 8(g) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which
Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failures to act, of any other person serving the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company
as an Indemnifiable Person shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification hereunder. 

Section 9. Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding: 

(a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. The Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify or advance
Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to Proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except (i) with respect to Proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this
Agreement, any other statute or law, as permitted under Section 145, or otherwise, (ii) where the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding, or (iii) with respect to Proceedings brought to discharge Indemnitee’s
fiduciary responsibilities, whether under ERISA or otherwise, but such indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board finds it to be appropriate. 

(b) 16(b) Actions. The Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee on account of any
suit in which judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934, as
amended, and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law. 
 (c) Unlawful Indemnification.
The Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses and Other Liabilities if such indemnification is prohibited by law. 

Section 10. Non-exclusivity. The provisions for indemnification and advancement of Expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not
be deemed exclusive of any other rights which Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, the vote of the Company’s stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements, or
otherwise, both as to acts or omissions in his or her official capacity and to acts or omissions in another capacity while serving the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company as an Indemnifiable Person and Indemnitee’s rights
hereunder shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased serving the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company as an Indemnifiable Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. 

Section 11. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
for any reason whatsoever, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraphs of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, all portions of any paragraphs of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent
manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. 

  
 -7- 

 Section 12. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) and except
as expressly provided herein, no such waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver. 
 Section 13. Successors and Assigns. The
terms of this Agreement shall bind, and shall inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that neither party shall assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other.

 Section 14. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on any person other than the
parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement. 

Section 15. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed duly given if (a) delivered by hand and a receipt is provided by the party to whom such communication is delivered, (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, return receipt requested, on the signing by
the recipient of an acknowledgement of receipt form accompanying delivery through the U.S. mail, (c) served personally by a process server, or (d) delivered to the recipient’s address by overnight delivery (e.g., FedEx, UPS or DHL) or
other commercial delivery service. Addresses for notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or as subsequently modified by written notice complying with the provisions of this Section 14. Delivery of
communications to the Company with respect to this Agreement shall be sent to the attention of the Company’s General Counsel. 

Section 16. No Presumptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement
(whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or
that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law or otherwise. In addition, neither the failure of the Company or a Reviewing Party to have made a determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any particular
standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by the Company or a Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the commencement of Proceedings by
Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination by exercising Indemnitee’s rights under Section 8(e) of this Agreement shall be a defense to Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee has failed to meet any particular
standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief or is not entitled to indemnification under applicable law or otherwise. 

Section 17. Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on Indemnitee by this Agreement shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased to
serve the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company as an Indemnifiable Person and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. 

Section 18. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such
payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. 

  
 -8- 

 Section 19. Specific Performance, Etc. The parties recognize that if any provision of
this Agreement is violated by the Company, Indemnitee may be without an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of any such violation, Indemnitee shall be entitled, if Indemnitee so elects, to institute Proceedings, either in law or at
equity, to obtain damages, to enforce specific performance, to enjoin such violation, or to obtain any relief or any combination of the foregoing as Indemnitee may elect to pursue. 

Section 20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an
original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement. 

Section 21. Headings. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall
not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction or interpretation thereof. 
 Section 22. Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed entirely with Delaware. 

Section 23. Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts
of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any Proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement.

Effective Date. 
 e. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions set forth in this Agreement
