Our View: New approaches needed for illegal dumping Pacific Daily News View Comments Illegal dumping and littering on Guam have been perpetual problems for decades. Beaches are constantly trashed by thoughtless people, village mayors constantly have to clean up garbage, used appliances and other trash. Island cleanups scour the same places every year, and every year there is always more garbage to clean up. No matter how hard good people work to keep our island clean, there are even more people willing to trash it. Guam clearly needs to find new approaches to dealing with illegal dumping. On Thursday, a public hearing on Bill 116, the Litter Control Act, was held. Sen. Sabina Perez’s bill would increase penalties and allow more volunteers to issue citations as a way of expanding litter enforcement personnel.
