Recology customers in Ashland and Talent are asked to put their various garbage and recycling carts at the curb by 6 a.m. starting Monday, June 2, according to a news release.

This applies to all carts, including garbage, recycling, green waste, and glass, according to Recology community affairs official Eric Ahnmark.
