Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Asheville, NC?

Not on your own driveway. If the dumpster sits on a public street, sidewalk, or other right-of-way, you need approval from City of Asheville Public Works. The city sets the fee, so confirm it before booking. HOA rules may also apply.

Much of the mixed debris from Asheville goes to Buncombe County Landfill, 85 Panther Branch Rd, Alexander, NC 28701, operated by Buncombe County Solid Waste. Haulers may route loads through transfer stations or recycling facilities first. Call (828) 250-5462 for current hours and rules.
