Solid Waste Fees

The City's solid waste fee is $12.00 per month per household. For that fee, residents receive weekly backyard garbage collection and bagged curbside yard waste services.

Bulk Waste

Public Works will pick up bulk waste, appliances and any items other than regular household trash on a user fee basis. The base fee is $25.00 per collection. Call 828-438-5248 to schedule a rough trash pickup.

No Building Debris Allowed

Public Works will not pick up building materials, dirt, concrete, bricks or blocks, or refuse from building, remodeling, and repair operations or landscape work. All waste material of this nature must be removed by the contractor and not placed at the curb for pick by the City. 

Loose-Leaf Collection

Loose-leaf collection is free during leaf season. Between February and September, loose leaves will be collected for a $25.00 fee. If leaves are bagged, there is no fee for collection. Call Public Works at (828) 438-5248 and request to have your bagged leaves picked up. Bags are collected every Friday unless it is a holiday.
