Most Arden homes are in unincorporated Buncombe County, where residential trash is handled by FCC Environmental, the county's contracted hauler. FCC offers curbside bulky-item pickup, and for one small item at the curb it can be a good deal. Here's how it compares (FCC Environmental – Buncombe County):
The math: Five bulky items at $25 each is $125, and you still have to get them all to the curb. A sleeper sofa, a recliner or a dresser can easily weigh more than 75 pounds. If you have more than a couple of items, anything heavy, or no one to help carry, one Talk Trash visit is usually simpler and often costs about the same.
FCC pricing and rules are set by FCC and Buncombe County and may change. Check FCC's site for current details. If your address is inside Asheville city limits (such as parts of Biltmore Park), city sanitation rules apply instead.
If you'd rather take it yourself, Buncombe County's nearest option is the Transfer Station at 190 Hominy Creek Road in Asheville. It's open Monday–Friday, 8am–4:30pm, and Saturday, 8am–1pm (Buncombe County). Resident loads in pickup trucks, vans or small trailers are charged by the ton (Buncombe County Landfill).
That means a truck or trailer, strapping it down, loading and unloading it yourself, and the drive across town. If that sounds like your whole Saturday, text us a photo instead.
