SOLID WASTE: A DIFFERENTIATED STRATEGY

Page 6: Imperial Capital Global Opportunities Conference September 18, 2014

SOLID WASTE: 85% OF REVENUE

Almost 3 million customers across 30 states

Page 7: Imperial Capital Global Opportunities Conference September 18, 2014

SOLID WASTE INDUSTRY TENETS $55 billion revenue => still consolidating

4 ~50% publicly traded companies / remainder private and municipalities4 ~40% concentrated in two largest companies

Solid waste is a commodity business4 Lowest price provider wins4 Basic level of service expectation by customers

Scale matters locally4 Market share = route density

Success is driven by:4 Market selection4 Asset and contractual positioning4 Execution at the local level

OUR DIFFERENTIATED STRATEGY

Exclusive markets4 Vertically integrated, or4 Non-integrated

Competitive markets4 Secondary markets with4 High market share and4 Vertically integrated or disposal neutral

What we wish to avoid:4 Urban markets4 #3 or worse position in a market4 Collection-only position in a competitive market with competitor-

controlled disposal

FINANCIAL TAKE-AWAYS Unique combination of industry-leading margins (EBITDA, EBIT and free cash

flow) and growth from:4 Price + increasing MSW volumes => levered to improving economy;4 Changes to or enforcement of E&P waste regulations;4 Potential newly permitted E&P waste facilities;4 Potential MSW and E&P waste acquisitions; and4 Return of capital to stockholders.

Strong conversion of EBITDA to free cash flow

Current priority for deployment of excess capital:4 Acquisitions and construction of newly permitted E&P waste facilities;4 Share repurchases; and4 Debt reduction.

Track record for increasing quarterly cash dividends every October4 Dividends account for less than 20% of our free cash flow

Page 19: Imperial Capital Global Opportunities Conference September 18, 2014

LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES 8%-10% annual revenue growth balanced between organic and acquisitions

4 Maintain disciplined growth

Core solid waste price increase spread of 50-100bps over CPI

15-30 bps EBITDA margin expansion per year, excluding acquisitions and changes in recycled commodity prices4 Potentially greater margin expansion depending on growth in E&P waste

activity4 Slightly greater EBIT margin expansion given DD&A leverage

Double digit annual EPS and FCF/share growth

Maintain strong balance sheet as the right acquisitions are opportunistic

Increasing cash dividend and opportunistic share repurchases to return capital
