UPDATE: Donate Face Mask/Coverings

This update reflects a change in the schedule that masks will be accepted, changing the hours to 10AM-4PM and no longer including Fridays.

The City of Eureka is asking residents to help meet a dire community need during the COVID-19 outbreak: reusable masks or face coverings experiencing homelessness.

The use of simple cloth face coverings can slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. Universal face coverings protect us all and have become mandatory in Humboldt County.  Please help ensure that our most vulnerable community members can comply and contribute to the beneficial impact of universal face coverings.
We are in this together and your support will help UPLIFT our community. Donated face masks or face coverings will be supplied to St. Vincent de Paul, The Eureka Rescue Mission, and The Betty Kwan Chinn Day Center for distribution.

Plastic Film Recycling on Hold

We’ve been getting lots of questions about this so figured it made sense to post it here.

Plastic film recycling at the Adorni Center is currently on hold and will resume when it is safe to do so.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience. We will announce it when it is safe again.
