Residential Recycling Program

Ashland Recycling Program Recology Ashland Sanitary Service offers a great commingle household recycling service for our customers inside the urban growth boundary.

Recycling Reminder:
Please place items on the curb by 7:00 AM on your recycling day.



No Plastic Bags in Commingle Carts! They Clog Up Our System!
Plastic bags, such as grocery and retail bags, protective newspaper bags, & sandwich sacks, cause BIG problems at our recycling recovery facility. These bags clog up the equipment by wrapping around gears and wheels. To reduce the number of plastic bags at home, switch to durable, reusable bags for your trips to the store. Keep durable bags stored in your car or bike for easy access when shopping. Plastic bags can be recycled at the Ashland Recycling Center (Water Street).
