Guam Solid Waste Waste Authority
Recycling Center in Tamuning, GUAM
About This Location
The 546 North Marine Corps Drive location in Tamuning is the Guam Solid Waste Authority (GSWA) headquarters and administrative office – not a public drop-off site. GSWA runs Guam's island-wide curbside recycling collection and operates three Residential Transfer Stations (Harmon, Agat and Malojloj) where residents can drop cardboard and glass bottles/jars for recycling at no charge. Household trash and bulky items are accepted at the transfer stations for a volume-based fee. For drop-off, residents should use one of the transfer stations rather than the Tamuning office.
