The curbside program operates on the same color scheme as the Recycling Center behind the Arcade Building – blue containers for glass, metal and plastic; yellow containers for mixed paper, boxes and flattened cardboard.
The service is currently $60 a year plus a one-time fee of $17.24 for purchase of the town-approved bins. The contracted vendor, Wade Nelon & Sons will pickup recycling at the curb every Wednesday.
In Lake Lure, the program is subscriber based; meaning that it will not raise taxes and residents can opt out. Businesses and owners of vacation rentals may also participate, although businesses must contact the town’s contracted vendor, Wade Nelon & Sons or another vendor. All other subscribers are required to use the town’s vendor. In Chimney Rock Village, participation in the program is mandatory.
