Basis of Presentation and Summary | 1. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements relate to Waste Connections, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of net income, comprehensive income, cash flows and equity include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair statement in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Examples include accounting for landfills, self-insurance accruals, income taxes, allocation of acquisition purchase price, contingent consideration accruals and asset impairments. An additional area that involves estimation is when the Company estimates the amount of potential exposure it may have with respect to litigation, claims and assessments in accordance with the accounting guidance on contingencies. Actual results for all estimates could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions that the Company uses in the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. |

Revenue | 4. The Company’s operations primarily consist of providing non-hazardous waste collection, transfer, disposal and recycling services, non-hazardous oil and natural gas exploration and production (“E&P”) waste treatment, recovery and disposal services and intermodal services. The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenues by service line for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Commercial $ 615,803 $ 538,525 $ 1,218,082 $ 1,038,201 Residential 529,872 463,320 1,043,926 903,608 Industrial and construction roll off 340,030 295,557 658,344 555,045 Total collection 1,485,705 1,297,402 2,920,352 2,496,854 Landfill 382,944 339,719 726,376 639,484 Transfer 306,021 261,475 579,543 479,432 Recycling 38,319 67,504 69,621 130,598 E&P 58,607 54,155 110,365 97,711 Intermodal and other 39,459 46,310 77,671 92,002 Intercompany (289,960) (250,130) (562,330) (473,391) Total $ 2,021,095 $ 1,816,435 $ 3,921,598 $ 3,462,690 The factors that impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized for each service line may vary based on the nature of the service performed. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue at the time it performs a service. In the event that the Company bills for services in advance of performance, it recognizes deferred revenue for the amount billed and subsequently recognizes revenue at the time the service is provided. Substantially all of the deferred revenue recorded as of March 31, 2023 was recognized as revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2023 when the service was performed. See Note 11 for additional information regarding revenue by reportable segment.

Accounts Receivable [Abstract] | |
Accounts Receivable | 5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable are recorded when billed or accrued and represent claims against third parties that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of the Company’s receivables, net of the allowance for credit losses, represents their estimated net realizable value. The allowance for credit losses is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of assets pooled together with similar risk characteristics. The Company monitors the collectability of its trade receivables as one overall pool due to all trade receivables having similar risk characteristics. The Company estimates its allowance for credit losses based on historical collection trends, the age of outstanding receivables, geographical location of the customer, existing economic conditions and reasonable forecasts. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that specific receivable balances may be impaired, further consideration is given to the collectability of those balances and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. Past-due receivable balances are written off when the Company’s internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful in collecting the amount due. The following is a rollforward of the Company’s allowance for credit losses for the periods indicated: Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 Beginning balance $ 22,939 $ 18,480 Current period provision for expected credit losses 7,035 6,907 Write-offs charged against the allowance (10,738) (7,522) Recoveries collected 3,403 2,412 Impact of changes in foreign currency 71 (24) Ending balance $ 22,710 $ 20,253 |
Landfill Accounting

Landfill Accounting [Abstract] | |
Landfill Accounting | 6 . At June 30, 2023, the Company’s landfills consisted of 90 owned landfills, five landfills operated under life-of-site operating agreements and seven landfills operated under limited-term operating agreements. The Company’s landfills had site costs with a net book value of $3,312,150 at June 30, 2023. For the Company’s landfills operated under limited-term operating agreements and life-of-site operating agreements, the owner of the property (generally a municipality) usually owns the permit and the Company operates the landfill for a contracted term. Where the contracted term is not the life of the landfill, the property owner is generally responsible for final capping, closure and post-closure obligations. The Company is responsible for all final capping, closure and post-closure liabilities at the landfills it operates under life-of-site operating agreements. The Company’s internal and third-party engineers perform surveys at least annually to estimate the remaining disposal capacity at its landfills. Many of the Company’s existing landfills have the potential for expanded disposal capacity beyond the amount currently permitted. The Company’s landfill depletion rates are based on the remaining disposal capacity, considering both permitted and probable expansion airspace, at the landfills it owns and landfills it operates, but does not own, under life-of-site agreements. The Company’s landfill depletion rate is based on the term of the operating agreement at its operated landfill that has capitalized expenditures. Expansion airspace consists of additional disposal capacity being pursued through means of an expansion that has not yet been permitted. Expansion airspace that meets certain criteria is included in the estimate of total landfill airspace. Based on remaining permitted capacity as of June 30, 2023, and projected annual disposal volumes, the average remaining landfill life for the Company’s owned landfills and landfills operated under life-of-site operating agreements is estimated to be approximately 32 years. As of June 30, 2023, the Company is seeking to expand permitted capacity at eight of its owned landfills and two landfills that it operates under life-of-site operating agreements, and considers the achievement of these expansions to be probable. Although the Company cannot be certain that all future expansions will be permitted as designed, the average remaining life, when considering remaining permitted capacity, probable expansion capacity and projected annual disposal volume, of the Company’s owned landfills and landfills operated under life-of-site operating agreements is approximately 35 years. The estimated remaining lives of the Company’s owned landfills and landfills operated under life-of-site operating agreements range from 2 to 308 years, with approximately 90% of the projected annual disposal volume from landfills with remaining lives of less than 70 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company expensed $125,130 and $113,091, respectively, or an average of $5.10 and $4.83 per ton consumed, respectively, related to landfill depletion at owned landfills and landfills operated under life-of-site agreements. The Company reserves for estimated final capping, closure and post-closure maintenance obligations at the landfills it owns and landfills it operates under life-of-site operating agreements. The Company calculates the net present value of its final capping, closure and post-closure liabilities by estimating the total obligation in current dollars, inflating the obligation based upon the expected date of the expenditure and discounting the inflated total to its present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Any changes in expectations that result in an upward revision to the estimated undiscounted cash flows are treated as a new liability and are inflated and discounted at rates reflecting market conditions. Any changes in expectations that result in a downward revision (or no revision) to the estimated undiscounted cash flows result in a liability that is inflated and discounted at rates reflecting the market conditions at the time the cash flows were originally estimated. This policy results in the Company’s final capping, closure and post-closure liabilities being recorded in “layers.” The Company’s discount rate assumption for purposes of computing “layers” for final capping, closure and post-closure liabilities is based on its long-term credit adjusted risk-free rate. The Company’s discount rate assumption for purposes of computing 2023 and 2022 “layers” for final capping, closure and post-closure obligations is 5.50% for 2023 and ranged from 3.25% to 5.50% for 2022. The Company’s long-term inflation rate assumption is 2.75% for the year ending December 31, 2023 and ranged from 2.25% to 2.75% for the year ending December 31, 2022. The resulting final capping, closure and post-closure obligations are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets along with an offsetting addition to site costs which is amortized to depletion expense as the remaining landfill airspace is consumed. Interest is accreted on the recorded liability using the corresponding discount rate. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company expensed $8,992 and $7,992, respectively, or an average of $0.37 and $0.34 per ton consumed, respectively, related to final capping, closure and post-closure accretion expense. The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s final capping, closure and post-closure liability balance from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023: Final capping, closure and post-closure liability at December 31, 2022 $ 344,606 Liability adjustments 20,508 Accretion expense associated with landfill obligations 8,992 Closure payments (8,282) Assumption of closure liabilities from acquisitions 3,505 Foreign currency translation adjustment 794 Final capping, closure and post-closure liability at June 30, 2023 $ 370,123 Liability adjustments of $20,508 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, represent non-cash changes to final capping, closure and post-closure liabilities and are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets along with an offsetting addition to site costs, which is amortized to depletion expense as the remaining landfill airspace is consumed. The final capping, closure and post-closure liability is included in Other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company performs its annual review of its cost and capacity estimates in the first quarter of each year. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $9,957 and $6,890, respectively, of the Company’s restricted cash balance and $60,975 and $57,469, respectively, of the Company’s restricted investments balance was for purposes of securing its performance of future final capping, closure and post-closure obligations. |

Acquisitions [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | 7. The Company acquired seven individually immaterial non-hazardous solid waste collection, transfer, recycling and disposal businesses and one E&P landfill during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The total transaction-related expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023 for these acquisitions were $3,905. These expenses are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income. The Company acquired eight individually immaterial non-hazardous solid waste collection, transfer and recycling businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The total transaction-related expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022 for these acquisitions were $8,232. These expenses are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income. The results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from their respective acquisition dates. The Company expects these acquired businesses to contribute towards the achievement of the Company’s strategy to expand through acquisitions. Goodwill acquired is attributable to the synergies and ancillary growth opportunities expected to arise after the Company’s acquisition of these businesses. The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire these businesses and the preliminary amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition dates for the acquisitions consummated in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022: 2023 2022 Acquisitions Acquisitions Fair value of consideration transferred: Cash $ 213,152 $ 546,982 Debt assumed 17,097 — 230,249 546,982 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed associated with businesses acquired: Accounts receivable 9,047 14,656 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 2,214 3,444 Restricted investments 5,462 — Operating lease right-of-use assets 885 2,852 Property and equipment 123,506 139,121 Long-term franchise agreements and contracts 59,509 17,482 Customer lists 4,457 53,099 Permits and other intangibles 2,403 62,406 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (5,661) (21,347) Current portion of operating lease liabilities (191) (947) Deferred revenue (1,342) (4,877) Contingent consideration (13,350) (5,543) Long-term portion of operating lease liabilities (694) (1,905) Other long-term liabilities (6,257) — Deferred income taxes (1,077) (9,074) Total identifiable net assets 178,911 249,367 Goodwill $ 51,338 $ 297,615 Goodwill acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, totaling $51,338 and $156,645, respectively, is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of acquired working capital related to six individually immaterial acquisitions completed during the twelve months ended June 30, 2023, is provisional pending receipt of information from the acquirees to support the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any adjustments recorded relating to finalizing the working capital for these six acquisitions are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position. The gross amount of trade receivables due under contracts acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $9,189, of which $142 was expected to be uncollectible. The gross amount of trade receivables due under contracts acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $17,436, of which $2,780 was expected to be uncollectible. The Company did not acquire any other class of receivable as a result of the acquisition of these businesses. |

Lessee Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Leases | 9. The Company rents certain equipment and facilities under short-term agreements, non-cancelable operating lease agreements and finance leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments include how the Company determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) lease term and (3) lease payments. The lease guidance requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. The lease term for the Company’s leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease, plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments or variable lease payments. The variable lease payments take into account annual changes in the consumer price index and common area maintenance charges, if known. ROU assets for operating and finance leases are periodically reviewed for impairment losses. The Company uses the long-lived asset impairment guidance in ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Overall, to determine whether an ROU asset is impaired, and if so, the amount of the impairment loss to recognize. The Company did not recognize an impairment charge for any of its ROU assets during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of one of its leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset. The Company did not recognize any significant remeasurements during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease recognition and measurement exemption allowed for in the lease accounting standard. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with its short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease cost for operating and finance leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Operating lease cost $ 11,821 $ 10,168 $ 22,967 $ 20,992 Finance lease cost: Amortization of leased assets 682 590 1,365 1,120 Interest on leased liabilities 51 53 105 101 Total lease cost $ 12,554 $ 10,811 $ 24,437 $ 22,213 Supplemental cash flow information and non-cash activity related to the Company’s leases are as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 22,668 $ 20,877 Operating cash flows from finance leases $ 105 $ 101 Financing cash flows from finance leases $ 6,908 $ 4,225 Non-cash activity: Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities - operating leases $ 74,605 $ 21,928 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities - finance leases $ 398 $ 1,340 Weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate for the Company’s leases are as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 Weighted average remaining lease term - operating leases 10.3 years 8.6 years Weighted average remaining lease term - finance leases 3.7 years 4.8 years Weighted average discount rate - operating leases 3.75 % 3.23 % Weighted average discount rate - finance leases 1.96 % 1.92 % As of June 30, 2023, future minimum lease payments, reconciled to the respective lease liabilities, are as follows: Operating Leases Finance Leases Last 6 months of 2023 $ 22,155 $ 1,513 2024 37,684 2,978 2025 32,283 2,978 2026 30,014 2,392 2027 29,019 970 Thereafter 167,823 48 Minimum lease payments 318,978 10,879 Less: imputed interest (61,665) (365) Present value of minimum lease payments 257,313 10,514 Less: current portion of lease liabilities (32,747) (2,791) Long-term portion of lease liabilities $ 224,566 $ 7,723 |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting | 11. The Company’s revenues are generated from the collection, transfer, recycling and disposal of non-hazardous solid waste and the treatment, recovery and disposal of non-hazardous E&P waste. No single contract or customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues at the consolidated or reportable segment level during the periods presented. Effective April 1, 2023, the Company modified its organizational structure under new regional operating segments as the result of continued growth in its business. The Company now reports revenue and segment EBITDA based on the following six geographic solid waste operating segments: Southern, Western, Central, Eastern, Canada and MidSouth. A small number of operating locations have been reallocated from the Western segment to the Central segment, the previous Eastern segment has been bifurcated into two smaller geographies now referred to as the Eastern segment and MidSouth segment, and a small number of operating locations have been reallocated from the Southern segment to the MidSouth segment. The Company’s six geographic solid waste operating segments comprise its reportable segments. Each operating segment is responsible for managing several vertically integrated operations, which are comprised of districts. The segment information presented herein reflects the realignment of these regions. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates operating segment profitability and determines resource allocations based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is segment EBITDA. The Company defines segment EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments and other operating items, and other income (expense). Segment EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company’s management uses segment EBITDA in the evaluation of segment operating performance as it is a profit measure that is generally within the control of the operating segments. A reconciliation of segment EBITDA to Income before income tax provision is included at the end of this Note 11. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, is shown in the following tables: Three Months Ended Intercompany Reported Segment June 30, 2023 Revenue Revenue (b) Revenue EBITDA (c) Southern $ 466,547 $ (52,486) $ 414,061 $ 129,674 Western 471,481 (52,509) 418,972 119,560 Central 415,975 (46,790) 369,185 130,958 Eastern 405,614 (62,190) 343,424 86,515 Canada 278,282 (29,577) 248,705 95,194 MidSouth 273,156 (46,408) 226,748 62,418 Corporate (a) — — — (16,958) $ 2,311,055 $ (289,960) $ 2,021,095 $ 607,361 Three Months Ended Intercompany Reported Segment June 30, 2022 Revenue Revenue (b) Revenue EBITDA (c) Southern $ 416,878 $ (43,082) $ 373,796 $ 117,410 Western 390,126 (43,541) 346,585 105,378 Central 364,239 (39,052) 325,187 114,444 Eastern 363,064 (53,210) 309,854 71,664 Canada 279,274 (28,892) 250,382 92,648 MidSouth 252,984 (42,353) 210,631 61,278 Corporate (a) — — — (2,683) $ 2,066,565 $ (250,130) $ 1,816,435 $ 560,139 Six Months Ended Intercompany Reported Segment June 30, 2023 Revenue Revenue (b) Revenue EBITDA (c) Southern $ 917,547 $ (103,593) $ 813,954 $ 251,588 Western 916,277 (101,466) 814,811 230,249 Central 799,500 (90,330) 709,170 246,714 Eastern 794,411 (121,858) 672,553 159,790 Canada 531,952 (56,091) 475,861 178,178 MidSouth 524,241 (88,992) 435,249 120,149 Corporate (a) — — — (19,412) $ 4,483,928 $ (562,330) $ 3,921,598 $ 1,167,256 Six Months Ended Intercompany Reported Segment June 30, 2022 Revenue Revenue (b) Revenue EBITDA (c) Southern $ 802,515 $ (82,653) $ 719,862 $ 218,534 Western 766,664 (86,420) 680,244 205,378 Central 687,236 (71,988) 615,248 211,395 Eastern 679,031 (98,375) 580,656 136,951 Canada 519,489 (54,399) 465,090 177,492 MidSouth 481,146 (79,556) 401,590 111,097 Corporate (a) — — — (7,385) $ 3,936,081 $ (473,391) $ 3,462,690 $ 1,053,462 ____________________ (a) The majority of Corporate expenses are allocated to the six operating segments. Direct acquisition expenses, expenses associated with common shares held in the deferred compensation plan exchanged for other investment options and share-based compensation expenses associated with Progressive Waste share-based grants outstanding at June 1, 2016 that were continued by the Company are not allocated to the six operating segments and comprise the net EBITDA of the Company’s Corporate segment for the periods presented. (b) Intercompany revenues reflect each segment’s total intercompany sales, including intercompany sales within a segment and between segments. Transactions within and between segments are made on a basis intended to reflect the market value of the service. (c) For those items included in the determination of segment EBITDA, the accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Derivative Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | 12. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. All of the Company’s derivatives have been designated as cash flow hedges; therefore, the gain or loss on the derivatives will be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCIL”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. The Company classifies cash inflows and outflows from derivatives within operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. One of the Company’s objectives for utilizing derivative instruments is to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in cash flows due to changes in the variable interest rates of certain borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Company’s strategy to achieve that objective involves entering into interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps outstanding at June 30, 2023 were specifically designated to the Credit Agreement and accounted for as cash flow hedges. At June 30, 2023, the Company’s derivative instruments included four interest rate swap agreements as follows: Fixed Variable Notional Interest Interest Rate Date Entered Amount Rate Paid (a) Received Effective Date (b) Expiration Date August 2017 $ 200,000 2.1230 % 1-month Term SOFR November 2022 October 2025 June 2018 $ 200,000 2.8480 % 1-month Term SOFR November 2022 October 2025 June 2018 $ 200,000 2.8284 % 1-month Term SOFR November 2022 October 2025 December 2018 $ 200,000 2.7715 % 1-month Term SOFR November 2022 July 2027 ____________________ (a) Plus applicable margin. (b) In October 2022, the Company amended the reference rate in all of its outstanding interest rate swap contracts to replace One-Month LIBOR with One-Month Term SOFR and certain credit spread adjustments. The Company did not record any gains or losses upon the conversion of the reference rates in these interest rate swap contracts, and the Company believes these amendments will not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair values of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2023, were as follows: Derivatives Designated as Cash Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Flow Hedges Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Interest rate swaps Prepaid expenses and other current assets (a) $ 21,003 Accrued liabilities $ — Other assets, net 15,160 Total derivatives designated as cash flow hedges $ 36,163 $ — ____________________ (a) Represents the estimated amount of the existing unrealized gains on interest rate swaps at June 30, 2023 (based on the interest rate yield curve at that date), included in AOCIL expected to be reclassified into pre-tax earnings within the next 12 months. The actual amounts reclassified into earnings are dependent on future movements in interest rates. The fair values of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2022, were as follows: Derivatives Designated as Cash Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Flow Hedges Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Interest rate swaps Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 17,906 Accrued liabilities $ — Other assets, net 13,901 Total derivatives designated as cash flow hedges $ 31,807 $ — The following table summarizes the impact of the Company’s cash flow hedges on the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and AOCIL for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022: Derivatives Statement of Amount of (Gain) or Loss Reclassified Designated as Cash Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized Net Income from AOCIL into Earnings, Flow Hedges as AOCIL on Derivatives, Net of Tax (a) Classification Net of Tax (b) Three Months Ended Three Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Interest rate swaps $ 12,120 $ 1,904 Interest expense $ (3,494) $ 2,680 Derivatives Statement of Amount of (Gain) or Loss Reclassified Designated as Cash Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized Net Income from AOCIL into Earnings, Flow Hedges as AOCIL on Derivatives, Net of Tax (a) Classification Net of Tax (b) Six Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Interest rate swaps $ 9,695 $ 34,758 Interest expense $ (6,493) $ 6,171 ____________________ (a) In accordance with the derivatives and hedging guidance, the changes in fair values of interest rate swaps have been recorded in equity as a component of AOCIL. As the critical terms of the interest rate swaps match the underlying debt being hedged, all unrealized changes in fair value are recorded in AOCIL. (b) Amounts reclassified from AOCIL into earnings related to realized gains and losses on interest rate swaps are recognized when interest payments or receipts occur related to the swap contracts, which correspond to when interest payments are made on the Company’s hedged debt. See Note 16 for further discussion on the impact of the Company’s hedge accounting to its consolidated comprehensive income (loss) and AOCIL. |

Fair Value [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 15. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments and restricted cash and investments. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s derivative instruments included pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps. The Company’s interest rate swaps are recorded at their estimated fair values based on quotes received from financial institutions that trade these contracts. The Company verifies the reasonableness of these quotes using similar quotes from another financial institution as of each date for which financial statements are prepared. For the Company’s interest rate swaps, the Company also considers the Company’s creditworthiness in its determination of the fair value measurement of these instruments in a net liability position and the counterparties’ creditworthiness in its determination of the fair value measurement of these instruments in a net asset position. The Company’s restricted cash is valued at quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets, which the Company receives from the financial institutions that hold such investments on its behalf. The Company’s restricted cash measured at fair value is invested primarily in money market accounts, bank time deposits and U.S. government and agency securities. The Company’s restricted investments are valued at quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets, which the Company receives from the financial institutions that hold such investments on its behalf. The Company’s restricted investments measured at fair value are invested primarily in money market accounts, bank time deposits, U.S. government and agency securities and Canadian bankers’ acceptance notes. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were as follows: Fair Value Measurement at June 30, 2023 Using Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets Other Significant for Identical Observable Unobservable Assets Inputs Inputs Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Interest rate swap derivative instruments – net asset position $ 36,163 $ — $ 36,163 $ — Restricted cash $ 112,623 $ 112,623 $ — $ — Restricted investments $ 72,883 $ — $ 72,883 $ — Contingent consideration $ (92,409) $ — $ — $ (92,409) Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2022 Using Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets Other Significant for Identical Observable Unobservable Assets Inputs Inputs Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Interest rate swap derivative instruments – net asset position $ 31,807 $ — $ 31,807 $ — Restricted cash $ 102,727 $ 102,727 $ — $ — Restricted investments $ 66,402 $ — $ 66,402 $ — Contingent consideration $ (81,415) $ — $ — $ (81,415) The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value for Level 3 liabilities related to contingent consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022: Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 Beginning balance $ 81,415 $ 94,308 Contingent consideration recorded at acquisition date 13,350 5,543 Payment of contingent consideration recorded at acquisition date (2,193) (8,898) Adjustments to contingent consideration (910) (1,030) Interest accretion expense 747 712 Ending balance $ 92,409 $ 90,635 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (10-Q) | 13. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and equivalents, trade receivables, restricted cash and investments, trade payables, debt instruments, contingent consideration obligations and interest rate swaps. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying values of cash and equivalents, trade receivables, restricted cash and investments, trade payables and contingent consideration are considered to be representative of their respective fair values. The carrying values of the Company’s debt instruments, excluding certain notes as listed in the table below, approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, based on current borrowing rates, current remaining average life to maturity and borrower credit quality for similar types of borrowing arrangements, and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s debt instruments where the carrying values do not approximate their fair values as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, are as follows: Carrying Value at Fair Value (a) at June 30, December 31, June 30, December 31, 2023 2022 2023 2022 4.25% Senior Notes due 2028 $ 500,000 $ 500,000 $ 480,900 $ 470,850 3.50% Senior Notes due 2029 $ 500,000 $ 500,000 $ 460,200 $ 457,650 2.60% Senior Notes due 2030 $ 600,000 $ 600,000 $ 516,360 $ 510,540 2.20% Senior Notes due 2032 $ 650,000 $ 650,000 $ 521,560 $ 514,540 3.20% Senior Notes due 2032 $ 500,000 $ 500,000 $ 435,300 $ 429,000 4.20% Senior Notes due 2033 $ 750,000 $ 750,000 $ 704,550 $ 699,450 3.05% Senior Notes due 2050 $ 500,000 $ 500,000 $ 339,450 $ 343,300 2.95% Senior Notes due 2052 $ 850,000 $ 850,000 $ 580,975 $ 561,425 ____________________ * Senior Notes are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The Compensation Committee will determine the achievement of performance results and corresponding vesting of PSUs for each performance period. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share for the common shares underlying all PSUs granted during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $133.83. Deferred Share Units A summary of activity related to deferred share units (“DSUs”) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, is presented below: Vested Shares Outstanding at December 31, 2022 26,536 Granted 3,945 Outstanding at June 30, 2023 30,481 The DSUs consist of a combination of DSU grants outstanding under the Progressive Waste share-based compensation plans that were continued by the Company following the Progressive Waste acquisition and DSUs granted by the Company since the Progressive Waste acquisition. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share for the common shares underlying the DSUs granted during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $136.47. Other Restricted Share Units RSU grants outstanding under the Progressive Waste share-based compensation plans were continued by the Company following the Progressive Waste acquisition and allow for the issuance of shares or cash settlement to employees upon vesting. A summary of activity related to Progressive Waste RSUs during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, is presented below: Outstanding at December 31, 2022 57,829 Cash settled (5,803) Outstanding at June 30, 2023 52,026 No RSUs under the Progressive Waste share-based compensation plans were granted subsequent to June 1, 2016. All remaining RSUs were vested as of March 31, 2019. Share-Based Options Share-based options outstanding under the Progressive Waste share-based compensation plans were continued by the Company following the Progressive Waste acquisition and allow for the issuance of shares or cash settlement to employees upon vesting. A summary of activity related to Progressive Waste share-based options during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, is presented below: Outstanding at December 31, 2022 43,570 Cash settled (7,787) Outstanding at June 30, 2023 35,783 No share-based options under the Progressive Waste share-based compensation plans were granted subsequent to June 1, 2016. All outstanding share-based options were vested as of December 31, 2017. Employee Share Purchase Plan On May 15, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2020 Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Under the ESPP, qualified employees may elect to have payroll deductions withheld from their eligible compensation on each payroll date in amounts equal to or greater than one percent (1%) but not in excess of ten percent (10%) of eligible compensation in order to purchase the Company’s common shares under certain terms and subject to certain restrictions set forth in the ESPP. The exercise price is equal to 95% of the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the last day of the relevant offering period, provided, however, that such exercise price will not be less than 85% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares as reflected on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) over the final five trading days of such offering period. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the ESPP is 1,000,000. Under the ESPP, employees purchased 14,594 of the Company’s common shares for $1,841 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Under the ESPP, employees purchased 12,015 of the Company’s common shares for $1,554 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Normal Course Issuer Bid On July 26, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, the annual renewal of the Company’s normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”) to purchase up to 12,859,066 of the Company’s common shares during the period of August 10, 2022 to August 9, 2023 or until such earlier time as the NCIB is completed or terminated at the option of the Company. The renewal followed the conclusion of the Company’s NCIB that expired August 9, 2022. The Company received TSX approval for its annual renewal of the NCIB on August 8, 2022. Under the NCIB, the Company may make share repurchases only in the open market, including on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the TSX, and/or alternative Canadian trading systems, at the prevailing market price at the time of the transaction. In accordance with TSX rules, any daily repurchases made through the TSX and alternative Canadian trading systems is limited to a maximum of 85,956 common shares, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume on the TSX of 343,825 common shares for the period from February 1, 2022 to July 31, 2022. The TSX rules also allow the Company to purchase, once a week, a block of common shares not owned by any insiders, which may exceed such daily limit. The maximum number of shares that can be purchased per day on the NYSE will be 25% of the average daily trading volume for the four calendar weeks preceding the date of purchase, subject to certain exceptions for block purchases. The timing and amounts of any repurchases pursuant to the NCIB will depend on many factors, including the Company’s capital structure, the market price of the common shares and overall market conditions. All common shares purchased under the NCIB shall be immediately cancelled following their repurchase. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not repurchase any Cash Dividend In November 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors increased its regular quarterly cash dividend by $0.025, from $0.23 to $0.255 per Company common share. Cash dividends of $131,140 and $118,812 were paid during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. |

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 18. In the normal course of its business and as a result of the extensive governmental regulation of the solid waste and E&P waste industries, the Company is subject to various judicial and administrative proceedings involving Canadian regulatory authorities as well as U.S. federal, state and local agencies. In these proceedings, an agency may subpoena the Company for records, or seek to impose fines on the Company or revoke or deny renewal of an authorization held by the Company, including an operating permit. From time to time, the Company may also be subject to actions brought by special interest or other groups, adjacent landowners or residents in connection with the permitting and licensing of landfills, transfer stations, and E&P waste treatment, recovery and disposal operations, or alleging environmental damage or violations of the permits and licenses pursuant to which the Company operates. The Company uses $1,000 as a threshold for disclosing environmental matters involving potential monetary sanctions. In addition, the Company is a party to various claims and suits pending for alleged damages to persons and property, alleged violations of certain laws and alleged liabilities arising out of matters occurring during the normal operation of the Company’s business. Except as noted in the matters described below, as of June 30, 2023, there is no current proceeding or litigation involving the Company or its property that the Company believes could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Jefferson Parish, Louisiana Landfill Litigation Between June 2016 and December 31, 2020, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, Louisiana Regional Landfill Company (“LRLC”), conducted certain operations at a municipal solid waste landfill known as the Jefferson Parish Landfill (the “JP Landfill”), located in Avondale, Louisiana, near the City of New Orleans. LRLC’s operations were governed by an Operating Agreement entered into in May 2012 by LRLC under its previous name, IESI LA Landfill Corporation, and the owner of the JP Landfill, Jefferson Parish (the “Parish”). The Parish also holds the State of Louisiana permit for the operation of the JP Landfill. Aptim Corporation, and later River Birch, LLC, operated the landfill gas collection system at the JP Landfill under a separate contract with the Parish. In July and August 2018, four separate lawsuits seeking class action status were filed against LRLC and certain other Company subsidiaries, the Parish, and Aptim Corporation in Louisiana state court, and subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, before Judge Susie Morgan in New Orleans. The Court later consolidated the claims of the putative class action plaintiffs. Beginning in December 2018, a series of 11 substantively identical mass actions were filed in Louisiana state court against LRLC and certain other Company subsidiaries, the Parish, and Aptim Corporation. The claims of the mass action plaintiffs were removed to and consolidated in federal court in the Eastern District of Louisiana, also before Judge Susie Morgan (the “Addison” action). The putative class actions and the Addison action assert claims for damages from odors allegedly emanating from the JP Landfill. The consolidated putative class action complaint alleges that the JP Landfill released “noxious odors” into the plaintiffs’ properties and the surrounding community and asserts a range of liability theories—nuisance, negligence (since dismissed), and strict liability—against all defendants. The putative class is described as all residents of Jefferson Parish who have sustained legally cognizable damages as a result of odors from the JP Landfill, but the complaint proposes to revise the geographic definition based on further evidence. The putative class plaintiffs seek unspecified damages for nuisance and unidentified property value diminution. The Addison plaintiffs assert claims for nuisance, negligence, and (with respect to the Parish) unconstitutional takings under the Louisiana Constitution; on behalf of two plaintiffs, the Addison complaint also asserts claims for wrongful death and survivorship. The Court held an eight-day trial on general causation during January and February 2022. On November 29, 2022, the Court issued a 45-page decision on the general causation trial. The Court concluded that all putative class and mass action plaintiffs established general causation—specifically that emissions and gases from the JP Landfill were capable of causing certain damages alleged by the plaintiffs. The Court held that it only needed to determine the level of exposure necessary to result in injuries and that the level existed somewhere offsite, and that it was not required to delineate this level of exposure within a geographic area. The Court did, however, limit the time period for damages, to between July 2017 and December 2019, and the types of alleged injuries for which the plaintiffs are able to seek damages, to headaches, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, sleep disruption, dizziness, fatigue, anxiety and worry, a decrease in quality of life, and loss of enjoyment or use of property. The Addison The Court has held several case management conferences since the general causation decision to discuss how to proceed with the class and mass action cases, and the Court has proposed trying certain Addison On April 17, 2023, the Company and the other Defendants filed a petition for a writ of mandamus from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals challenging the April 17 case management order’s sequencing of a merits trial before class certification. The Defendants also filed a motion to stay proceedings in the district court until the Fifth Circuit issues a decision on the writ petition. On June 8, 2023, the Fifth Circuit stayed proceedings in the district court, and oral argument was held on July 12, 2023. Following oral argument, the Fifth Circuit clarified that its stay applies only to the Addison action but has not yet issued a decision on the writ petition. The Company has already obtained dismissal of approximately one third of the original Addison plaintiffs, the number of which now totals 544, and believes it has strong defenses to the merits of the Addison action, including specific causation issues due to other odor sources in the area. The Company also believes it has strong defenses to certification of the putative class actions, although the Court has not yet indicated when it will allow certification to be briefed and decided, and sequencing of that process may be affected by the Fifth Circuit’s decision on the writ petition. The Company is continuing to vigorously defend itself in these lawsuits; however, at this time, the Company is not able to determine the likelihood of any outcome regarding the underlying claims, including the allocation of any potential liability among the Company, the Parish, and Aptim Corporation. Los Angeles County, California Landfill Expansion Litigation A. Chiquita Canyon, LLC Lawsuit Against Los Angeles County In October 2004, the Company’s subsidiary, Chiquita Canyon, LLC (“CCL”), then under prior ownership, filed an application (the “Application”) with the County of Los Angeles (the “County”) Department of Regional Planning (“DRP”) for a conditional use permit (the “CUP”) to authorize the continued operation and expansion of the Chiquita Canyon Landfill (the “CC Landfill”). The CC Landfill has operated since 1972, and as a regional landfill, accepted approximately 2.6 million tons of materials for disposal and beneficial use in 2022. The Application requested expansion of the existing waste footprint on CCL’s contiguous property, an increase in maximum elevation, creation of a new entrance and new support facilities, construction of a facility for the County or another third-party operator to host household hazardous waste collection events, designation of an area for mixed organics/composting, and other modifications. After many years of reviews and delays, upon the recommendation of County staff, the County’s Regional Planning Commission (the “Commission”) approved the Application on April 19, 2017, but imposed operating conditions, fees and exactions that substantially reduced the historical landfill operations and represented a large increase in aggregate taxes and fees. CCL objected to many of the requirements imposed by the Commission. Current estimates for new costs imposed on CCL under the CUP are in excess of $300,000. CCL appealed the Commission’s decision to the County Board of Supervisors, but the appeal was not successful. At a subsequent hearing, on July 25, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved the CUP. On October 20, 2017, CCL filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles a verified petition for writ of mandate and complaint against the County and the County Board of Supervisors captioned Chiquita Canyon, LLC v. County of Los Angeles, No. BS171262 (Los Angeles Co. Super Ct.) (the “Complaint”). The Complaint challenges the terms of the CUP in 13 counts generally alleging that the County violated multiple California and federal statutes and California and federal constitutional protections. CCL seeks the following relief: (a) an injunction and writ of mandate against certain of the CUP’s operational restrictions, taxes and fees, (b) a declaration that the challenged conditions are unconstitutional and in violation of state and federal statutes, (c) reimbursement for any such illegal fees paid under protest, (d) damages, (e) an award of just compensation for a taking, (f) attorney fees, and (g) all other appropriate legal and equitable relief. Following extensive litigation in 2018 and 2019 on the permissible scope of CCL’s challenge, the Superior Court issued its decision on July 2, 2020, granting CCL’s petition for writ of mandate in part and denying it in part. CCL prevailed with respect to 12 of the challenged conditions, many of which imposed new fees and exactions on the CC Landfill. On October 11, 2022, CCL and the County entered into a settlement agreement that requires CCL to file a CUP modification application with the County embodying the terms of the settlement agreement. CCL filed the CUP modification application on November 10, 2022. If the CUP modification application is approved by the County and certain other contingencies are satisfied, CCL will dismiss this lawsuit. However, at this time, the Company is not able to determine the likelihood of any outcome in this matter. B. December 11, 2017 Notice of Violation Regarding Certain CUP Conditions. The County, through its DRP, issued a Notice of Violation, dated December 11, 2017 (the “NOV”), alleging that CCL violated certain conditions of the CUP, including Condition 79(B)(6) of the CUP by failing to pay an $11,600 Bridge & Thoroughfare Fee (“B&T Fee”) that was purportedly due on July 25, 2017. The alleged B&T fee was ostensibly to fund the construction of transportation infrastructure in the area of the Landfill. At the time the NOV was issued, CCL had already contested the legality of the B&T fee in the October 20, 2017 Complaint filed against the County in Los Angeles County Superior Court, described above under paragraph A (the “CUP lawsuit”). On January 12, 2018, CCL filed an appeal of the alleged violations in the NOV. Subsequently, CCL filed additional legal arguments and exhibits contesting the NOV. On March 6, 2018, a DRP employee designated as hearing officer sustained the NOV, including the $11,600 B&T fee, and imposed an administrative penalty in the amount of $83 and a noncompliance fee of $0.75. A written decision memorializing the hearing officer’s findings and order was issued on July 10, 2018. On April 13, 2018, CCL filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles a Petition for Writ of Administrative Mandamus against the County seeking to overturn the decision sustaining the NOV, contending that the NOV and decision are not supported by the facts or law. On July 17, 2018, the Court granted CCL leave to pay the $11,600 B&T fee and to amend its Complaint in the CUP lawsuit to reflect the payment under protest, allowing the challenge to the B&T fee under the Mitigation Fee Act to proceed in the CUP lawsuit. CCL paid the B&T fee under protest on August 10, 2018, and also paid on that date the administrative penalty of $83 and the noncompliance fee of $0.75. The Court indicated that the NOV case would be coordinated with the CUP lawsuit. On October 11, 2022, CCL and the County entered into the settlement agreement, described above under paragraph A. If the CUP modification application is approved by the County and certain other contingencies are satisfied, CCL will dismiss this lawsuit. However, at this time, the Company is not able to determine the likelihood of any outcome in this matter. |

Lessee Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Leases | The Company rents certain equipment and facilities under short-term agreements, non-cancelable operating lease agreements and finance leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments include how the Company determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) lease term and (3) lease payments. The lease guidance requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. The lease term for the Company’s leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease, plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments or variable lease payments. The variable lease payments take into account annual changes in the consumer price index and common area maintenance charges, if known. ROU assets for operating and finance leases are periodically reviewed for impairment losses. The Company uses the long-lived asset impairment guidance in ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Overall, to determine whether an ROU asset is impaired, and if so, the amount of the impairment loss to recognize. The Company did not recognize an impairment charge for any of its ROU assets during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of one of its leases. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset. The Company did not recognize any significant remeasurements during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease recognition and measurement exemption allowed for in the lease accounting standard.

The actual amounts reclassified into earnings are dependent on future movements in interest rates. In accordance with the derivatives and hedging guidance, the changes in fair values of interest rate swaps have been recorded in equity as a component of AOCIL. As the critical terms of the interest rate swaps match the underlying debt being hedged, all unrealized changes in fair value are recorded in AOCIL. |
