Each company listed discloses WCN in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named WCN in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.
Of the companies Waste Connections names as compensation peers, which name it back in their own disclosed peer groups. A peer set the market reciprocates reads differently from one selected in a single direction.
Reciprocity shown where the peer's own current proxy has been read — each mark is cited in the register to that peer's filing. A dash means the peer's current proxy was read and names no reciprocal group including Waste Connections.
Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company's own proxy statement.

Answers are drawn only from the figures disclosed in this brief and cited to their location in the source filing. Where a figure required for an answer is not disclosed, that is stated rather than estimated.
Each figure's location is given both for the eye (section · page · table · row · column) and for a script (table/row/column index and exact character span in the filed document). Any figure can be independently confirmed against the source.
