Green Debris

Green debris carts may be used for lawn clippings, plant trimmings, leaves, and other plant materials (if it grows, it goes). Eligible customers include those within the city limits of Ashland or Talent, as well as those within the urban growth boundaries of both cities. Green debris is an additional service charge.

This is a great way to help keep organics out of the trash and our landfills. Branches must be less than three (3) inches in diameter and must fit inside the cart provided.

Recycling

For those residents living inside the urban growth boundary, Recology Ashland offers a comprehensive mixed recycling service. Please remember that plastic bags, glass, motor oil, shredded paper, and egg cartons should not go in your mixed recycling cart. Learn more about commercial cardboard collection.

Glass and Motor Oil: Because of our semi-automated collection method, glass, and used motor oil cannot be recycled in your mixed recycling roll-cart. We provide separate containers exclusively for glass and motor oil. Please do not place glass inside plastic bags.

Glass: All glass food, beverage jars, and bottles. Remove metal lids and place them in the landfill bin.

Used Motor Oil: Put the used motor oil in a plastic container with a screw-top lid. Make sure it is well-sealed.

Landfill

What is garbage? Not much! Thin plastics (bags and saran wrap), cat litter, ceramics, and broken glass to name a few. Only put un-recyclable materials into your landfill cart.
