<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify">During our earnings conference
call on February 22, 2017, we highlighted the following outlook for the first quarter and full year 2017.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify">For the first quarter of the
year, we estimate our revenue to be approximately $1.075 billion. We expect core price plus volume growth for solid waste to be
between 3.0% and 3.5%. Net income attributable to Waste Connections is estimated to be approximately $105 million. Adjusted EBITDA
is estimated to be approximately $322.5 million, or about 30% of revenue. Depreciation and amortization expense is estimated to
be about 14.1% of revenue. Amortization of intangibles expense is estimated to be about $26.5 million, or about $0.10 per diluted
share net of taxes. Operating income is estimated to be about 15.8% of revenue. We expect interest expense to be approximately
$29 million. We expect our effective tax rate to be about 25%, subject to some variability. The effective tax rate for the period
includes about a $6 million benefit to the provision due to a new accounting pronouncement that reclassifies excess tax benefits
associated with equity-based compensation arrangements from the cash flow statement to the income tax provision. Noncontrolling
interests expense is estimated to be about $225,000.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify">For the full year, in addition
to the outlook provided in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2017,
we expect solid waste price plus underlying volume growth for solid waste to be between 4.0% and 4.5% in the U.S., less about 1%
for the low quality or unsafe-to-service revenue we are shedding in the U.S. In Canada, we expect price plus underlying volume
growth for solid waste of about 4% on a constant currency basis, less about 2% for the low quality or unsafe-to-service revenue
we are shedding in Canada.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify">These estimates assume no change
in the current economic and operating environment. They also exclude any remaining severance, integration costs or other items
resulting from the Progressive Waste acquisition and any additional acquisitions or potential divestitures that may close during
the respective periods.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify">Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP
financial measure, is provided supplementally because it is widely used by investors as a performance and valuation measure
in the solid waste industry. Management uses adjusted EBITDA as one of the principal measures to evaluate and monitor the
ongoing financial performance of our operations. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Waste
Connections, plus net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, plus or minus income tax provision (benefit), plus
interest expense, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus closure and post-closure accretion expense, plus or minus
any loss or gain on impairments and other operating items, plus other expense, less other income, plus foreign currency
transaction loss, less foreign currency transaction gain. We further adjust this calculation to exclude the effects of other
items management believes impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business. This measure is not a
substitute for, and should be used in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Other companies may calculate adjusted
EBITDA differently.</P>
