In observance of the Labor Day holiday, Asheville City Hall offices will be closed on Monday, September 2, 2024.

Below is a list of city services available or impacted:

ART Bus Services

The City of Asheville ART service routes and facilities will operate on a holiday schedule Monday, Sept. 2, which is the same as the Sunday bus schedule (8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m).

The Labor Day holiday is one of seven holidays throughout the calendar year that ART offers bus service. For route information, visit RideTheART.com.

Sanitation Services

The Sanitation office will be closed.

There will be no trash, recycling, or brush collection on Labor Day, September 2. Sanitation collections will operate Tuesday through Friday instead.

The collection day for all customers — except for those in the Central Business District — will be one day later than normal this week, so service will run September 3-6.

The Central Business District will be serviced on their regular Wednesday schedule. There will be no scrap metal or appliance collection during the week of September 2.

Anyone with a collection issue should call the Customer Service line at 828-251-1122.

Splasheville, the free splash fountain in Pack Square Park, is open from 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Recreation Park’s pool is open from 12 p.m.-6 p.m. (weather permitting).
