The Humboldt Waste Management Authority (Authority) was formed in November of 1999 for the primary purpose of securing transportation and disposal of member agencies’ solid waste and the closure/post-closure of the Cummings Road Landfill. Additionally, the Authority operates the Hawthorne Street Transfer Station and handles a number of diversion services and programs such as household hazardous waste, California Redemption Value (CRV) & non-CRV recycling, mattresses and tires.
The Authority is governed by a six-member Board of Directors and the Board representative from the County of Humboldt is 1st District Supervisor, Rex Bohn, with 3rd District Supervisor, Mike Wilson, serving as the alternate.
The presentation is designed to inform elected officials and the general public about franchise haulers, the Authority’s Transfer Station and landfill of where solid waste is disposed, the post-closure responsibilities associated with the Cummings Road Landfill and on-going materials diversion activities operated by Humboldt Waste Management Authority.
