Updated January 2026

Boyd Gaming continues to make progress with our waste diversion efforts. The strategic initiative began in 2021 as we focused on finding new ways to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills.

Over the last four years, Boyd has diverted more than 262 million pounds from landfills overall, improving waste diversion rate from 49.9% in 2021 to 69.7% in 2024.

Our ongoing waste diversion efforts are also contributing to our ability to reduce carbon emissions. By diverting 262 million pounds of waste from landfills, we have successfully avoided 37,500 metric tons of emissions since 2021.
