INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 2.05 Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities.

Waste Connections, Inc. (the “Company”) announced on December 12, 2011 plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from Folsom, California to The Woodlands, Texas. The relocation is expected to commence before year-end 2011 and be complete by September 2012.

In connection with the relocation, the Company expects to incur an estimated $15 million of costs during 2012 related to personnel and office relocation expenses. In addition, the Company may incur a loss on lease in 2012 on the cessation of use of its existing corporate headquarters in Folsom, California, which the Company estimates could range between $4 million and $6 million.

Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking in nature, including statements related to the cost and timing of the corporate office relocation. The Company’s business and operations are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and, consequently, actual results may differ materially from those projected by any forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, as well as others, are discussed in greater detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. There may be additional risks of which the Company is not presently aware or that it currently believes are immaterial which could have an adverse impact on its business. The Company makes no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may change.
