Hawthorne Street Transfer Station

The Hawthorne Street Transfer Station serves as the regional disposal location for our member agencies and the general public.

Customers are asked to respect social distancing (remain six feet apart from other customers and employees), and to wear face masks at all times while on site.

It recieves over 60,000 tons of municipal solid waste annually from residents all over Humboldt County.

Tarp Your Load

Uncovered trucks and trailers are a large source of litter and debris along Humboldt roadways. Please do your part to secure and cover your load.

Reduce Your Load By Recycling First

HWMA offers a "One-Stop Service" to make it convenient for you to reduce, recycle and properly dispose of materials before waste is deposited into the landfill. Seperate your materials before you visit, and take all recyclable materials to the Eureka Recycling Center you may also reduce your costs.
