GUAM Solid Waste Management division
Services - RECYCLING
Since September 15, 2008, Guam residents can recycle cardboard and glass at the Dededo and Agat Transfer Stations and Ordot Dump. Disposal is free and may be made during the following times:
- Dededo and Agat Transfer Stations
Thursday to Monday, 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.
- Ordot Dump
Monday – Saturday, 7A.M.to 3 P.M.
Effective December 20, 2008, and until further notice, mixed paper is not accepted in the recycling containers. Mixed paper includes newspaper, office paper, colored paper, phone books, magazines, cereal boxes, and catalogs.
GBB’s decision followed the announcement by Guam Transport and Warehouse, the only outlet for mixed paper in Guam, that it discontinued pick-up of mixed paper given its inability to find markets due to the global recession. See related press release.
New recycling containers at each facility have individual openings, clearly marked with signage, for the following materials:
- Glass Bottles and Jars:
All colored glass, including clear, green, brown and blue (Labels are okay but no caps, lids or plastic containers)
- Cardboard:
Cardboard boxes and old corrugated cardboard (No cereal boxes or waxed cardboard)
The containers are part of a pilot program made possible through an Executive Order signed by Governor Felix P. Camacho, authorizing an emergency procurement for the purchase of solid waste equipment. While the Transfer Stations do not serve business customers as a disposal facility for waste, businesses may also bring recyclables to the recycling containers.
