FCC Residential Services Trash & Recycle

More updates to come but for now, please see:

https://fccenvironmental.com/buncombe-county/ 

​

Special Considerations

  • Please be careful of bears, particularly on trash collection days.  They have learned our routines and will often be seen rummaging through the trash containers on Tuesday evenings and Wednesday mornings.

​​

  • You can opt out of Waste Pro service, but your options will be to bring your garbage to the landfill or transfer station yourself.
