“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Rogue Valley were sending them!As luck would have it, Jackson County has two hauling companies: one for Medford and Phoenix, and one serving Ashland and Talent. Because Recology negotiates its own set of contracts as to where recyclables are reprocessed, Ashlanders are not being asked to make the same drastic changes to their recycling patterns as the residents of Phoenix and Medford. The woman responsible for managing these contracts is Recology Waste Zero Specialist Jamie Rosenthal.Jamie grew up in Coos Bay, where she learned early on to be responsible about waste from a father who spent weekends collecting trash left behind by beachcombers. Ironically, her father was employed by a paper mill, so Jamie grew up seeing all sides of the impassioned battle between environmentalists and Oregon’s timber industry. In the cross-fire, her father’s paper mill was shuttered, causing her family serious economic hardship. When Southern Oregon University offered Jamie a generous scholarship, she moved to Ashland in 1997.Wanting to put her degree in communications to good purpose, Jamie researched several local companies before deciding that employee-owned Recology had a mission (“to return resources to their best and highest use”) that resonated with her own values.

Hood, 20 large Styrofoam blocks in the Multmomah Channel, a car exhaust pipe on the beach in Gearhart and two bikes along Bear Creek Greenway in Medford. “The Beach and Riverside Cleanup is just one of many SOLVE events that gives all of us a way to show just how much Oregon means to us,” said Oregon Lottery Director Barry Pack. “With SOLVE events all across Oregon, I encourage everyone to find a location near them, grab your family and friends, and take part in this great event that is just one of many ways we all help make Oregon such a special place to live.” The success of this event was because of the dedicated coordinators and beach captains who step up to lead projects throughout the state, SOLVE officials said. “This event is truly inspiring because it starts with Oregonians noticing a problem in their local neighborhood, park or beach and wanting to make a difference,” said Maureen Fisher, CEO of SOLVE. “If it weren’t for local citizens and all of our volunteer leaders and sponsors, this event would not be possible.” SOLVE is a statewide nonprofit organization that brings people together to improve the environment and build a legacy of stewardship.Over four decades, the organization has grown from a small, grassroots group to a national model for volunteer environmental action.Today, SOLVE mobilizes and trains tens of thousands of volunteers across Oregon to clean up beaches and rivers and restore natural areas and neighborhoods.
