01 Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events. On December 5, 2024, the Board of Supervisors of Ontario County, New York approved a motion to close the Ontario County landfill (the "Ontario Landfill") at the end of 2028 upon the expiration of the 25-year Operation, Management and Lease agreement with Casella Waste Services of Ontario LLC signed in 2003 (the "OML").
