Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 21, 2019, Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Initial Press Release”) announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.  
On February 21, 2019, the Company issued a press release (the "Corrected Press Release"), which reflects the following corrections to the Initial Press Release: the anticipated spend for landfill closure, site improvement and remediation expenditures for fiscal year 2019 has been updated to $12.5 million, rather than $13.5 million as originally stated, where appearing in both the seventh bullet of the "2019 Outlook" section's second list as well as the table showing the reconciliation of the Company's anticipated Free Cash Flow and anticipated Normalized Free Cash Flow from anticipated Net cash provided by operating activities. In that same table, the Normalized Free Cash Flow has been correspondingly updated to $51 million - $55 million, from $52 million - $56 million as originally stated. Also, the second column header of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio table has been changed to "Covenant Requirement at December 31, 2018", rather than "Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2018" as originally stated. The Corrected Press Release replaces the Initial Press Release.  
The full text of the Corrected Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information in this Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
