Dededo, Guam -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will close its debris reduction site in Dededo at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 9, leaving one remaining site on Guam.

The Dededo site is one of six sites established to accept debris from Super Typhoon Pongsona. Closure of the site will allow the Corps to measure the debris and to proceed with the final debris reduction process.

Residents will continue to have access to the remaining site located in Barrigada adjacent to and across from the Department of Motor Vehicles building. That site will remain open through March 20.

As reduction sites are closed, the metals are being transported to a recycler, construction debris is going to a hardfill, and the vegetative debris will be ground up into mulch and made available to the general public for beneficial reuse.
