Recycling comes to Ashville

The symbol above will be used when the Village of Ashville is dealing with environmental topics. One component of recycling is the environment. What is now part of any comprehensive environmental programs is the financial impact. The Mayor and Village Council have determined that a balance of the environmental and financial interests have been reached concerning recycling. Therefore, it is time to bring curbside recycling services to our residents. 
This recycling page will be dedicated to inform and educate.

We will answer questions like, “What can you recycle and what cannot be recycled”? Please use our Facebook Page as another method for “Questions and Answers”.
