Guam Solid Waste Authority

As Guam moves closer to islandwide trash collection, officials discuss options for collecting money under the mandatory system.

The waste transfer station opened in 1984, and through the years served as a typhoon debris staging area, and a site for hazardous household waste, garbage, tires and private recycling operations

One of the first things the agency must do is purchase trash and recycling carts for about 21,000 new customers.

The new law is expected to reduce illegal dumping and decrease garbage collection rates.
