The City of Humboldt has clean-up days each year in late April or early May. This is only for large items that won't fit in a garbage bag. The City will only collect appliances or electronics with a $10 tag purchased at the City Office. These items are recycled. If you have such items at other times, contact Ely Iron and Metal in Fort Dodge at (515) 573-5904 or Frank's Auto Salvage in Fort Dodge at (515) 955-4477. As of July 1, 2014, the Fort Dodge Landfill no longer has a free pass per year for Humboldt residents. The cost is $35.00 per ton, with a $25.00 minimum per load. The North Central Iowa Regional Solid Waste Agency, (800) 582-4379, is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM - 4:30 PM and on Saturdays from 7:00 AM - 12:00 noon.
