Mr. Mittelstaedt served as the Vaughan, Ontario-based garbage collection company's chief executive from 1997 to 2019 before transitioning to the position of executive chairman.

He replaces Worthing Jackman, who is stepping down as head of the company as well as a member of the company board.

Michael Harlan has been appointed chairman of the board in a nonexecutive capacity.
