Guam Solid Waste Authority Information

The GSWA is a public agency, created by Guam Public Law 31-20. The agency is a totally self-funded operation whose mission is to help its customers dispose of their trash in an environmentally safe and regulated manner. Each week, GSWA employees collect curbside trash from approximately 17,000 customers. The GSWA also receives trash collected by commercial haulers and transported to the Hauler's Transfer Station. In all, the GSWA handles more than 90,000 tons of material a year. The GSWA also diverts material away from the landfill through services such as the Bulky and Metallic Waste curbside collection, recycling facilities at the Residential Transfer Stations, and prohibition of certain recyclables from being disposed of at the Layon Landfill.
