Moving to Black Mountain: who to call and what the city asks.

Black Mountain is a town in Buncombe County, North Carolina. The Town contracts its animal control services with the Buncombe County Sheriff Office Animal Control Services. The Town also buys about 30% of its water from the City of Asheville each year.

Weekly garbage and every-other-week recycling

Residents living inside the limits of Black Mountain get solid waste collection from the Town. Garbage is collected once per week at the curb, up to 2 residential cans of any size or 6 bags. Recycling is collected every other week on the same day as trash pick up. Yard waste is collected by request only.

Each town recycling cart is assigned to a specific address. A new resident whose property has no recycling cart from a previous tenant calls or visits the Public Works office.

Bulky items, appliances and the Buncombe County Landfill

Furniture, couches and mattresses are collected on Friday by request only. The Town does not collect bulky items from any residence or business that has a dumpster. The landlord of each rental property is responsible for disposing of bulky items left behind by evicted or departing tenants.

Requests for white goods and appliance pickup must be received by 4:00 pm on Thursday.

The Buncombe County Landfill is located at 85 Panther Branch Road in Alexander. Loads passing through Buncombe County Solid Waste facilities must be covered and secure.
