Posted By Kimberly Wear@kimberly wear on Fri, Feb 5, 2021 at 3:13 PM Green waste drop-offs for Arcata residents with Recology service are temporarily on hold as the Wes Green Landscaping facility undergoes ownership changes but there are interim options in place, according to the city. For now, Recology customers in Arcata can go to the Wes Green site at 6360 with their load and check-in across the street to receive a voucher, which will need to be redeemed within 45 minutes at Humboldt Sanitation’s Transfer Station in McKinleyville or at HWMA’s Transfer Station in Eureka. According to a city of Arcata news release, regular service is expected to be up and running again in 30 days.

In Humboldt County, California’s 33-year-old recycling buy-back program has completely fallen apart. A decade ago, the county had close to a dozen CRV [California Redemption Value] recycling centers places where you could haul your empties and trade them in for cash. By the start of this year only five remained. Now, amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the continuing collapse of scrap material values on the international market, none are left.
The Eureka Recycling Center (operated by the Humboldt Waste Management Authority), Humboldt Sanitation in McKinleyville and Recology Eel River in both Fortuna and Redway have all stopped operating their CRV programs. You can still drop off your recycling; you just won’t get money for it. And curbside recycling continues in many parts of the county, with customers paying for the privilege.
