More composting permit exemptions for Guam businesses
Earlier rules required a $100 composting permit, except for composted waste from three or fewer households. The law expands Guam's environmental agency's authority to waive permits for small-scale, on-site composting. Sites include apartment buildings, community gardens, farms, schools, and businesses that sell food. Exemptions are not automatic; the agency decides whether to grant them.
