One of Asheville's biggest draws is also its simplest: a clean environment. Its mountain air and water are refreshingly pure - a stark contrast to so many of today's cities that suffer from pollution. The city of Asheville takes great pride in its reputation as a exceedingly natural, low impact metropolis and takes equally great strides to incorporate sustainable practices in the day to day functioning of the city. Recycling is a cornerstone of this sustainability, and the city makes it easy for residents to do their part in keeping the environment healthy by providing an easy to use curbside recycling program as well as several convenient drop off locations for all of your recyclables.
