Curbside Recycling Pilot Project to Continue While Results Are Evaluated
Federal Receiver Gershman, Brickner & Bratton, Inc. clarified to residents of Guam that the Guam Solid Waste Authority is continuing the current curbside recycling pilot project while results are being evaluated. The pilot project’s objective is to determine the feasibility of implementing curbside recycling collection services throughout Guam for all GSWA customers. The evaluation of the program will occur in 2012, and there will be a public discussion of the evaluation before any final decision is made.
Ordot Dump Closed;
Layon Landfill Now Open
After repeated violation of the Clean Water Act led the District Court of Guam to issue a Consent Decree and appoint a Receiver to close the Ordot Dump, the Ordot Dump was permanently closed to waste deliveries on August 31, 2011 when the District Court of Guam officially locked the gate at the Dump and, in a Court hearing, celebrated this milestone in bringing the Guam Solid Waste Management Division into compliance with the 2004 Consent Decree.

Frances M. Tydingco-Gatewood, Chief Judge, District Court of Guam, provides welcome remarks during ceremonies commemorating the permanent closing of the Ordot Dump.
