Proposed 21% Increase in Garbage and Recycling Rates for Buncombe County Residents in Unincorporated Areas

This article discusses the potential 21% increase in garbage and recycling rates for Buncombe County residents in unincorporated areas due to a new proposed contract with FCC Environmental Services. The increase would be comparable to or lower than the rate proposed by the current contractor, Waste Pro. The new contract with FCC is expected to bring enhancements in services and technologies, with a final decision pending approval by the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners. Additional services, such as “Bear Carts” and premium services, are also part of the proposed contract. Waste Pro emphasized its commitment to sustainable waste solutions in its response to the proposal. The potential rate increase aligns with efforts to improve waste management services in the region.
