ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — Asheville is set to go green this weekend with a recycling event aimed at reducing landfill waste.

The event will be held at North Buncombe High School on Saturday, Sept. 13, and is designed to collect items that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

Residents can drop off items from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers will be available to assist with unloading items.

“What we can accept is a lot,” said Eric Bradford, director of operations for Asheville Greenworks. “We can take electronics of any kind, batteries of any kind, appliances, scrap metals. We can take that old lawnmower that’s broken, we can take that electric weeding. Books of any types, Styrofoam and cardboard.”

For a full list of acceptable items, residents are encouraged to visit the Asheville Greenworks website.
