appointed James E. O&#146;Connor, age 66, as a Class III director to fill the vacancy created on the Casella Board as a result of Mr.&nbsp;Chapple&#146;s resignation. Pursuant to Casella&#146;s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, which provides that the term of any director elected to fill a vacancy between annual meetings of stockholders will last until the next annual meeting and until such director&#146;s successor has been duly elected and qualified, or
until his earlier death, resignation or removal, Mr.&nbsp;O&#146;Connor&#146;s term will expire at Casella&#146;s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the &#147;<U>2015 Annual Meeting</U>&#148;). Accordingly, Mr.&nbsp;O&#146;Connor will stand for
election at the 2015 Annual Meeting. Mr. O&#146;Connor was not initially named to any Casella Board committee. The Company expects to file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K at such time as an initial committee assignment is made. </P>

non-hazardous solid waste collection, recycling and disposal services in the United States. He brings to the Casella Board over 40 years of experience in the waste management industry, including extensive leadership experience, as well as experience
serving on the boards of directors of publicly-traded companies in a variety of industries, including waste management, transportation and energy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There
are currently no arrangements or understandings between Mr.&nbsp;O&#146;Connor&nbsp;and any other person pursuant to which Mr.&nbsp;O&#146;Connor was appointed to serve as a member of the Casella Board. There are currently no transactions in which
Mr.&nbsp;O&#146;Connor has an interest requiring disclosure under Item&nbsp;404(a) of Regulation S-K as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with his appointment to the Casella Board, Mr.&nbsp;O&#146;Connor received a grant of 8,912 shares of restricted Class&nbsp;A common stock of
Casella having a value of approximately $50,000 on July&nbsp;7, 2015. The restricted stock grant will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on July&nbsp;7, 2016, provided that Mr.&nbsp;O&#146;Connor continues to serve on the Casella
Board at the time of vesting. During his service as a non-employee director, Mr.&nbsp;O&#146;Connor will also be entitled to an additional annual grant, following each annual meeting of stockholders, of shares of restricted Class&nbsp;A common stock
having a value on the date of grant of approximately $50,000, which vests in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. </P>

Casella&#146;s non-employee director compensation guidelines, as updated from time to time by the Casella Board. Mr.&nbsp;O&#146;Connor will also be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in connection with
