Ordot Dump to Close Sunday, Effective May 17
Monday through Saturday Hours Remain Unchanged
(Guam, April 28, 2009) – Federal Receiver Gershman, Brickner & Bratton, Inc., (GBB) today announced that beginning Sunday, May 17, 2009, the Ordot Dump will be closed on Sundays. The Dump will remain open Monday through Saturday, 7:00 am – 3:00 pm.
"With the Transfer Stations at Agat, Dededo and Malojloj now open on Sundays from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Guam residents and Mayors have three conveniently located Sunday options for disposing their recyclables and trash,” said David Manning, Receiver Representative. "This change in schedule will allow for a more efficient allocation of staff, since those employees who now work at the Ordot Dump on Sundays can be scheduled to work at the Dump at busier times during the week and on Saturdays. In addition, we have discussed closing the Ordot Dump operations on Sunday with the one commercial hauler who regularly uses the facility on that day and that waste hauler can accommodate the closing.”
There will be no changes to the days and hours of operation at the Agat, Dededo and Malojloj Transfer Stations, which currently are open 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Thursday through Monday.
