So "I'll grab it later" isn't really a delay. It's a decision to pay $29.97 for something you could have had for nothing.
Not a great trade.

3 Waste Services Stocks With More Growth Than You Might Expect
Written by Nathan Reiff. First Published: 11/2/2026.
Key Points
- Clean Harbors posted record third-quarter margins of 24.4% and raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow guidance.
- GFL Environmental is growing earnings strongly but faces rising debt leverage and uncertainty from unsolicited take-private buyout proposals.
- Casella Waste Systems is expanding through acquisitions and cost cuts, though its shares remain volatile despite analysts' bullish outlook.
- Special Report: Elon Musk… A Total Fraud?
When it comes to flashy stocks, investors have many options—but environmental services companies will likely never make the list. Nonetheless, companies providing essential services to businesses and communities can offer remarkable stability and staying power amid inflation and other macroeconomic pressures.
The companies below represent different parts of the environmental services industry. Each makes a compelling case for investor attention through a combination of earnings and revenue performance, cash flow, and resilience during a period of economic turbulence. Each also has the potential for future growth—a unique quality in an industry not traditionally known for its growth prospects.
CLH: Compelling Earnings, Improving Cash Flow, and Record Margins
Clean Harbors Inc. (NYSE: CLH) offers a range of waste collection, transportation, disposal, recycling, wastewater, and other services to clients in the industrial, government, and utilities sectors. With a market capitalization above $16 billion, it has established itself as a go-to vendor for customers dealing with complex regulatory and operational considerations.
Its Q3 2026 earnings, released Oct. 28, 2026, demonstrate the financial benefits of this position. Clean Harbors had its best-ever third quarter this year, with revenue surging 21% year over year (YOY) and adjusted EBITDA increasing 42% over the same period. Consolidated margins remained strong, reaching a record high of 24.4%.
Further, the company raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow guidance, another sign of strong operating momentum that could continue in the coming months. These results show why Clean Harbors stands out from other environmental services firms: its improving margins and cash generation, specialty services that remain in high demand, and lower competition relative to other firms in the space. To top it off, the company has a predicted 21% upside, on top of year-to-date (YTD) returns of 29%.
GFL: Strong Growth, But Debt and Buyout Uncertainty Raise Risks
Combining recycling, solid waste collection, and other services, GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE: GFL) is a Canadian peer of Clean Harbors and is roughly the same size by market capitalization. A key distinction is GFL's aggressive approach to acquisitions, which has affected its debt: management expects the firm's year-end net leverage to be in the mid-3x range.
Investors will want to keep an eye on GFL's future acquisition and debt management plans. Meanwhile, the company posted strong Q3 2026 earnings. Both earnings and revenue came in above expectations, with the bottom line increasing 27% YOY. Adjusted EBITDA margin has grown despite higher costs associated with fuel and landfills.
These headwinds have not been enough to slow GFL's anticipated growth: the company boosted its 2026 guidance once again, even as elevated diesel prices are expected to depress margins by 75 basis points.
GFL's profile as a potential growth stock is attractive, but the company has also received unsolicited proposals to go private. This will be another important factor for investors to monitor.
CWST: Volatility May Not Reflect the Company's Strong Financial Position
Casella Waste Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CWST) is just over a third the size of either of the two companies above and stands out for its growth potential. Casella's environmental services business is concentrated primarily in the northeastern United States, a position that creates opportunities to expand beyond the region.
The company is experiencing significant growth, including a 17% YOY revenue increase last quarter and rising adjusted EBITDA. Landfill tonnage is climbing, thanks in part to higher construction and demolition volumes.
The company is currently consolidating its operations to eliminate excess routes and reduce costs. Management has forecast $5 million in operating cost reductions by the end of the year. At the same time, Casella already has the financial footing to expand its operations through acquisitions.
In the second quarter, for instance, the firm completed five acquisitions totaling about $165 million in annualized revenue.
CWST shares have struggled to withstand broader turbulence this year, falling about 5% YTD. Still, analysts remain optimistic, giving CWST a Moderate Buy rating overall and predicting about 13% upside going forward. This makes Casella an attractive smaller player in the environmental services industry, though some investors may approach it with caution because of its history of volatility.
