There will be changes to this year’s junk days pickup process for city of Humboldt residents.
Rather than a curbside pickup, it will be a residential delivery process to the city’s recycling center and main lift station area.
The central reason for the change is the safety of city staff, but also centers around a more efficient and cost-effective way of collecting the junk that is too large to fit in traditional garbage bags with the required city stickers.
“Other cities that I’ve researched go with a centralized site for drop off, generally,” Humboldt City Administrator Cole Bockelmann said.
