Casella to close NCES Landfill Dec 31, 2026, a year early; Q4 amortization to rise
CASELLA WASTE SYSTEMS INC
- North Country Environmental Services landfill in Bethlehem, New Hampshire will accept municipal solid waste for the last time on December 31, 2026, versus prior expectation of end-2027.
- Company said it moved up the closure date after evaluating remaining permitted airspace, current and projected fill rates, and other operational factors.
- The earlier Closure Date will result in a higher level of landfill amortization expense in the fourth quarter of 2026 than previously anticipated.
- Casella said that added amortization expense is not expected to materially affect Q4 2026 or fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 financial results.
- Customers, regulators and the Bethlehem host community were notified on October 1, 2026, per the Regulation FD disclosure.
