Humboldt County Christmas Tree Drop-off Locations

HUMBOLDT COUNTY, Ca. (KIEM) – With the holiday season coming to a close, the city of Arcata encourages community members to avoid sending old holiday trees and lights to the landfill.

Arcata and Humboldt county residents have several holiday tree recycling options, including: 

Recology customers who have opted-in for yard waste collection may leave their holiday tree alongside their yard waste bin on regular collection days.

Recology customers who have not opted-in for yard waste collection may give Recology a call at (707) 683-4853 to schedule a tree pickup for a small fee.

The local Boy Scout troop 15 and Cub Scout Pack 95 will offer curbside pickups for Arcata residents on Saturday, January 4 and Sunday, January 5 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

This is a community service project for the scouts, and there is no fixed cost to pick up a tree.

Donations are encouraged and will be accepted to help the scouts’ fund camping trips and special activities throughout the year.

Humboldt waste management authority’s transfer station offers free holiday tree drop-offs through Thursday, January 16.
