Local planning starts with the address
Asheville provides biweekly brush and leaf collection with specific limits. The city does not collect large land-clearing piles or brush produced by a hired contractor.
City guidance caps regular brush at four feet long and six inches in diameter, requires space around utilities and mailboxes, and prohibits plastic bags for leaf collection. Private haul-away can address material or timing outside that routine service after scope review.
What to include in the request
- Street address and a clear description of where the pile sits.
- Material types kept in separate groups when practical.
- Pile dimensions, bag count, and the longest branch or limb.
- Photos of gates, steps, slopes, overhead lines, and the loading route.
Service boundaries
HaulNow reviews leaves, branches already on the ground, cut brush, and approved landscape debris. Hazardous tree work, utilities, flood-contaminated material, chemicals, and undisclosed construction waste are outside a routine yard-debris pickup.
Asheville questions
Does a Asheville mailing address guarantee municipal yard-waste pickup?
No. Eligibility follows the actual jurisdiction and service address. Check the responsible municipality or county program before relying on curbside collection.
Can I mix soil or stone with branches and leaves?
Keep heavy mineral material separate and disclose it. Soil, sod, root balls, gravel, and stone change weight and handling.
