We rent roll-off dumpsters in Leicester, NC (28748), out in northwest Buncombe County along NC-63. Leicester is unincorporated, so a dumpster on your own land needs no city permit. The main thing to confirm is truck access, so send us a photo of your driveway when you ask for a quote. Every rental comes from Dumpster Rental Asheville with one all-in price.
Leicester is farm and mountain country. Homes sit at the end of long gravel driveways, barns and outbuildings dot the hillsides, and the roads wind up out of the valleys. We run our dumpster rental in Asheville out New Leicester Highway at the same price as town, but we take a closer look at the route before we send a truck.

What parts of Leicester do we cover?
We serve the 28748 area along NC-63 (New Leicester Highway) and the side roads off it, from the edge of West Asheville out into the rural stretch beyond. Farther out toward Sandy Mush, access gets more remote. We can often still reach it, but a photo and a quick call help.
Our service areas page shows the full list of communities we cover.
Why does driveway access matter so much here?
A roll-off truck is long and heavy. It needs about 60 feet of straight approach to set the box down and roughly 23 feet of overhead clearance to tip the bed. Leicester driveways can test that.
| What we check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Driveway surface | Loose gravel is fine if it is firm. Soft spots can sink a truck. |
| Grade and curves | Steep pitches and tight bends limit where a long truck can go. |
| Overhead lines and limbs | The bed lifts high when the box slides off. |
| Ground after rain | Red clay turns slick and soft. We avoid lawns and pasture. |
| Turnaround space | Backing a long way down a mountain drive is not always safe. |
A phone photo taken from the road looking up the drive tells us most of what we need.

What jobs are common in Leicester?
Out here the work is mostly about clearing space on a property that has been lived on a long time. We often see:
- Barn and outbuilding cleanouts full of old lumber, fencing and broken equipment parts.
- Mobile home and old cabin tear-outs on family land.
- Roof replacements on farmhouses and sheds.
- Estate cleanouts when a family place changes hands.
- Porch and deck rebuilds.
Before you tear down any building, Buncombe County Air Quality requires a permit. Older structures can hide asbestos in siding, flooring or roofing, and asbestos cannot go in a roll-off.
What can’t go in a farm cleanout?
Barns collect things landfills will not take. Leave out old tractor and truck tires, fuel cans, motor oil, propane tanks, batteries, liquid paint and old freezers or fridges. Yard waste and dirt need approval first. When in doubt, ask before you load it.
Which size is best for rural property?
Barn and outbuilding jobs tend to be bulky but light, which suits a bigger box. A 30-yard dumpster holds about 9 pickup loads and 6 tons, which covers most full-property cleanouts. For a single shed or a roof, a 15 or 20 is usually right. Overweight is billed at about $75 to $100 per ton from the landfill scale ticket.
Do you need a permit in Leicester?
No city permit applies. Keep the box on your own land rather than the shoulder of NC-63, since state roads fall under NCDOT. That is it for most Leicester jobs.
Where does it all go?
Loads from Leicester head to the Buncombe County Landfill on Panther Branch Road in Alexander, where they are weighed on the scale. If you are breaking up an old concrete pad or block foundation, keep it clean and separate. Clean concrete, brick and block can be recycled there, while mixed loads get billed as trash.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Leicester?
No city permit applies in unincorporated Leicester. Keep the box on your land, not the shoulder of NC-63.
Why do you ask for a photo of my driveway?
Long gravel drives, steep grades and low limbs are common here. A photo lets us confirm the truck can reach your spot safely.
Can I put old tires and fuel cans in the dumpster?
No. Tires, fuels, propane, batteries and motor oil need separate handling. Ask us before loading anything you are unsure about.
What size works for a barn cleanout?
Barn debris is bulky but light, so a 30-yard is often the best fit. Smaller sheds usually need a 15 or 20.
Do you charge extra for rural delivery?
No. Leicester gets the same pricing as the rest of our service area.
Neighbors to the south can use our Candler service at the same rate. To lock in your Leicester rental, compare prices and get a free quote with a photo of your drive.
