Item 2. Properties.
Our principal executive offices are in Houston, Texas where we lease approximately 285,000 square feet under a lease expiring in 2035. We also have administrative offices in Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, India and parts of Western Europe. We own or lease real property in most locations where we have operations or administrative functions. We have operations (i) in all 50 states; (ii) in the District of Columbia; (iii) parts of Canada and (iv) parts of Western Europe.
Our principal property and equipment consist of land (primarily landfills and other disposal facilities, transfer stations and bases for collection operations), buildings, vehicles and equipment. We believe that our operating properties, vehicles and equipment are adequately maintained and sufficient for our current operations. However, we expect to continue to make investments in additional property and equipment for expansion, for the replacement of aging assets and investment in assets that support our strategy of continuous improvement through efficiency and innovation. In addition, we continue to make progress on our investments to expand our Recycling Processing and Sales and Renewable Energy segments. For more information, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included within this report.
