Mayor's Council asks Guam EPA to extend recycling program expenditure deadline; DPW files abandoned-vehicle plan
Summary
The Mayor's Council asked the Guam Environmental Protection Agency to extend expenditure deadlines so vendors paid for FY2023–FY2024 services can be settled; Department of Public Works has submitted a separate $2 million plan focused on abandoned vehicles.
Joy D'Arzail, a representative of the Mayor’s Council (MCOG), asked the Guam Environmental Protection Agency board on Oct. 2 to extend the expenditure deadline for several fiscal-year grants so outstanding invoices from FY2023 and FY2024 can be paid.
The request centers on MCOG-managed recycling and solid-waste services that MCOG says left vendors unpaid. “They had all conferred and voted that they wanna go ahead and return the program back to EPA,” D’Arzail said, describing a September council vote to return the program effective FY2026.
