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 info, visit RideTheART.com.

  • 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.

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