Recycle Update
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) requires that waste sheds report
as a single unit. Ashland Sanitary & Recycling reports with Rogue Disposal
and Southern Oregon Sanitation for the Jackson County waste shed.
The DEQ requires that the Jackson County waste shed divert 40% of its waste
by the year 2005. In 2002, Jackson County exceeded that goal and diverted
44.1% of its overall waste.
The following is an update from Ashland Sanitary & Recycling on the steady
increase of recycling at the transfer station. There was a 205% increase
in recycling brush, lumber and metals between 2000 and 2003.
