Disaster Debris Site Operational
The Government of Guam, in coordination with the Department of Public Works (DPW) and the Guam Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA) continues to operate one (1) primary disaster debris site at Oka Point, Tamuning (also known as Ypao Point or the Old Memorial Hospital site). The disaster debris site is open daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. For a complete list of accepted and non-accepted items, refer to JIC Recovery Release No. 4.
The Oka Point disaster debris site is open as scheduled; however, entry lines will be closed by 5:30 p.m. to ensure the final vehicle is admitted by 6 p.m., allowing crews time to safely secure the site for the night—an essential measure to protect both the public unloading debris and the personnel assisting them.
Community members are reminded that access to Oka Point during operational hours is at their own risk. Proper footwear, including closed-toe shoes, and appropriate attire are strongly advised to help prevent injuries while disposing of debris.
