As a resident of Ashland for 13 years, for years you can easily wait on hold for 30 minutes or more, sometimes with them answering but mostly not. Today after a 1/2 hour wait i drove down and waited for several minutes for Julie to finish her personal phone conversation in order to attend to me. I’d spoken with her roughly 2 weeks earlier to let her know I’m working with OHRA regarding my bill. She said she’d notate the account. Today she let me know that I didn’t have that conversation with her and that there’s no notation on the account. Further, that they’d sent me to collections. She then proceeded to attempt to loudly shame me for not being able to pay my bill during a pandemic. I explained I have 4 kids 24/7, to which she apparently is unable to understand how that combined with a pandemic and job loss isn’t a reason to not be able to pay. That was her answer to my question regarding why she didn’t tell me such while we spoke. Ashland needs to contract another company. There people are incompetent and rude and it effects people’s personal lives.

Kyle with Recology customer service is by far one of the best customer service agents I've had the pleasure of speaking with. He was very attentive, professional, and very friendly. He is a definite asset to their company. Thank you Kyle!

We’ve been pleased with Recology’s garbage, recycling and green waste pick up. However, yesterday I found several non-recyclable items we had mistakenly placed in our blue bin thrown in random spots in the street and sidewalk in front of our home. Please direct your drivers to be a bit more respectful. I apologize for putting the non-recyclables in the blue bin. Today I noticed one of your trucks exceeding the speed limit on our residential street. Please remind them to obey speed limits. Thank you.

The office staff are so efficient with figuring out problems and explain all the options, so you can get as close to what you need as the company allows. Lots of new tech on the trucks making life even more difficult than "normal" for those of us outside the city limits (we have no recycle or yard waste options other than stuff it into your car or bicycle during normal working hours - how I wish I could pay more and stop throwing all this into the trash!), and I wish the new trucks didn't crush soft-sided extra cans (how else can I get rid of yard waste?), and on and on, but I get trying to save money with automation. The human beings stuck in this difficult situation are caring and do try their best.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Recology Ashland | Aug 23, 2018

Hello Susan, No we can't accept paint. However, there is a PaintCare program in Oregon. You can take it back to Miller Paint & Ace Hardware. We do recommend you check with them that they have room. Now, if you have very little left in the can you can take the lid off to let it completely dry out. Then, lid off, it can go in your trash. Thanks for asking!

What can be recycled

Joyce Radford | Aug 23, 2018
Elias Savides | Aug 23, 2018

In Ashland and Talent a lot can be recycled. The best thing to do is to go into our office at 170 Oak st. and get a list. Here is a few items off the top of my head to get you started- milk jugs, tin cans, aluminum cans, cardboard, paperboard(cereal boxes), aluminum foil, newspaper, office paper, plastic bottles(larger than 8 ounces), and glass bottles are recycled separately. All containers should have lids removed and be clean. If there is any contamination on yhe recycling it should be removed. If you are unsure if an item is recylable it should go in yhe trash. When in doubt, throw it out. I hope this helps and feel free to ask any question you have.

Robert Clark | Aug 23, 2018
Recology Ashland | Aug 23, 2019

What types of plastics we accept hasn't changed. Plastic bottles where the neck is smaller than the body and rigid tubs, such as butter & cottage cheese. But now the lids. Water street accepts soft plastic which needs to be separated - clear only and then the rest goes in the other container.
