Is the July 17 ban on certain materials succeeding?
The ban is conserving space in the Ordot Dump, as expected. Material that was previously disposed at Ordot is now recycled at several locations on Guam. Commercial haulers have been cooperative and are working closely with the Receiver and their customers to comply with the ban and ensure its effectiveness. Continuing to accept the banned materials at the Ordot Dump would not be responsible and places Guam at significant risk of running out of space at Ordot before a new landfill can be completed.
