description: "Casella Waste Systems announced that its NCES landfill in Bethlehem, NH, will cease accepting municipal solid waste on December 31, 2026, accelerating the previous end-of-2027 timeline. The decision is driven by remaining permitted airspace and operational factors. Consequently, higher amortization expenses are expected in Q4 2026, though the company states this will not materially impact its financial results for the quarter or full year."
