Residential Green Debris Program

Recology Ashland Sanitary Service Green Debris Cart We will provide a 95-gallon roll-cart for customers inside the urban growth boundary for their yard debris. The cart will be picked up every other week on your normal collection day. For your safety: close lid before moving cart.

Rates: There is a monthly fee for this program along with a twelve month commitment. There is an additional refundable $48 deposit for the 95-gallon container.

Green Debris is used in a number of recycling processes, such as composting. Green Debris recycling produces rich compost which can be used by local residents and farmers, rather than going to waste in a landfill.

See our compost products page for information on purchasing compost made from Green Debris.
