At GFL, being good neighbours means giving back to the communities we serve.
GFL proudly provides quality, local service to communities across North America. The Full Circle Project (FCP) is an exciting community-driven charitable giving program that lets you, our customers, decide how a portion of our donations are directed. Our team connects with local charities to build lasting, high impact partnerships to support great causes.

From the time of our founding, sustainability has been integral to GFL’s success and we have a long-standing commitment to investing in sustainable solutions. The success we’ve achieved comes from sustainability being core to who we are as a company. If you’d like to learn more about sustainability at GFL, you can view our latest Sustainability Report.
