Previous independent registered public accounting firm</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On
September 11, 2006 the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Casella
Waste Systems, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (&#147;PwC&#148;)
as the Company&#146;s registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">PwC&#146;s
reports on the Company&#146;s financial statements for the fiscal years ended April
30, 2005 and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion,
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principle.&#160; During the fiscal
years ended April 30, 2005 and 2006, and through September&nbsp;11, 2006, there
were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have
caused PwC to make reference thereto in its reports on the Company&#146;s financial
statements for such years.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">During
the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005 and 2006, and through September&nbsp;11,
2006, there were no &#147;reportable events&#148; with respect to the Company as such
term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Company has provided PwC with a copy of the disclosures contained herein and
requested that PwC furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC
stating whether or not it agrees with the preceding statements. A copy of such
letter, dated September&nbsp;14, 2006, is filed as Exhibit&nbsp;16.1 hereto.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt 40.0pt;text-indent:-20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(b) New independent
registered public accounting firm</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On
September&nbsp;11, 2006 the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors appointed
Vitale, Caturano &amp; Company,&nbsp;Ltd. (&#147;Vitale, Caturano&#148;) as the Company&#146;s
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending
April&nbsp;30, 2007. The appointment of Vitale, Caturano will be submitted to
the Company&#146;s stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting on
October&nbsp;10, 2006.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font style="font-size:10.0pt;">During
the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005 and 2006, and through September&nbsp;11,
2006, the Company did not consult with Vitale, Caturano with respect to the
Company regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i)
and (ii) of Regulation S-K.&#160; </font>Vitale,
Caturano audited the results of the Company&#146;s subsidiary Maine Energy Recovery
Company, Limited Partnership for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and
2005 and the Company&#146;s 401(k) plan for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2003
and 2004.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A representative of Vitale, Caturano is expected to be
present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make a
statement if he or she so desires.</font></p>
