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 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!

It's nice if you do, especially if there is a lot, but apparently no it doesn't need to be. They do want them flattened.

There's no place to recycle styrofoam in Ashland. Try the UPS store, they might reuse it.

Does this site cash in cans and bottles?

Heather Broesamle | Aug 25, 2021
rachel cooper | Jan 27, 2022

No. I like the bottle drop in Medford. You can set up an account, they provide bags and you just drop off. It’s a good way to avoid the often long lines and the chore of inserting one item at a time🙃 You can draw money from your account like an atm machine with the card they give you. Or you can use it for 20%discount at Fred Meyers and a few other places I believe
