Ashland Recycling Center in
Ashland (OR)

We are so lucky to have this centrally located spot with helpful staff!

It's the best recycling center in the area with the lowest contamination rate. That being said, people still drop in filthy containers and trash and other items that aren't acceptable. **Everything should be rinsed out, PLEASE.** Otherwise, what's the purpose? It brings contamination from 🐀. Accepted: flattened cardboard *emptied plastic tubs, bottles and jugs with 1,2,5 symbol. Aluminum cans, paper, glass. Soft plastic is also taken in a separate bin. Not Accepted: styrofoam, egg cartons, hard plastic packaging, trash, to-go containers or cups, tissue, napkins, pots. If in doubt, ASK the attendants! Keep this the BEST recycling center in Oregon! It's a real treat to have it and if we all do our part, it might add up to make a difference. HELP get So OR clean again!

Great resource. A bit confusing on first use, but assistance was available while very kind and helpful.

Opens at “9am” is a very rough estimate. The employees will often arrive after 915am and take another 30-45 minutes to open the gates. Wouldn’t suggest getting there before 10am unless you have up to an hour to sit around waiting.

Easy to use

Recycling rules (also see photos): -plastic lids not recycled, there's a separate bucket for them (e.g. milk lids) -metal lids separately (e.g. cat food or bean lids) there's a separate bucket for them -bottles and cans that are worth something go into "donations for animal shelter" -other glass into broken glass container -no plastic bags, but there's a bucket for them -paper, broken up boxes accepted Also clothes, shoes donations accepted.

It's a small operation but they are saving the world

Always friendly, lots of parking , clear signage.

Great recycling spot that takes almost everything. Easy drive up, friendly staff, no fee, nice spot next to a skate park.

First, no longer a way to recycle ‘clamshell’ containers and now they’ve canceled any soft plastic recycling. That’s a lot of material headed to the landfill for a company with a supposedly “zero waste” philosophy. They’ve brought back soft plastic recycling. Hooray! Thanks very much Recology!

Fast and easy, we took in a bunch of flattened cardboard boxes was in and out within minutes and a few trips back n forth to my hatchback.

There's always someone to answer your questions, like "can I recycle this?"

The little lady there rock's! You rock Jana

I was able to come in, deposit what I needed to and then leave in a efficient manor. Everyone who works there is very intelligent about whatever you bring in and they are all very friendly. Lovely folks!
