New Plastic Bottle Recycling Drop Site Locations in Boone!
Due to North Carolina's recent statewide PLASTIC BOTTLE BAN, the Town of Boone has initiated a two-month pilot program for a recycling drop-site location for recyclables. This program provides a convenient in-town recycling center for Boone citizens who live in apartments that do not provide a plastic bottle recycling option. The recycling center will be conveniently located in the center of Town in the Horn in the West Drive lower parking lot on Horn in the West Drive, beginning October 14th. For more information, please contact Marsha Story, Boone Recycling Coordinator at 828-268-6230 or marsha.story@townofboone.net. Please click on the link to the flyer above to view a map and for more information.
Looking for Housing? These Resources Will Help!
If you're looking for housing or have housing available, use the resources below to search for and/or post information. Students, please note that most or your peers will begin looking this December 2009 and January 2010 to locate housing for Fall 2010. In order to get all or most of your housing preferences, we suggest that you begin looking early, too!
The resources provided below include: 1) Electronic Message Boards (post or search for ads), 2) Local Rental Company Information, 3) Local Newspaper Classified Ads, 4) Realtors, 5) Craig's List, 6) Map of Boone, and 7) Map of Local Bus Routes.
*BE AWARE THAT A LEASE IS A BINDING CONTRACT. ONCE SIGNED, YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO BREAK THE CONTRACT AND WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS UNLESS YOU ARE ABLE TO SUBLEASE YOUR APARTMENT.
*DISCLAIMER: ASU does not endorse one Rental Company over another, nor do we inspect properties that are listed on this website. For your safety, we encourage you to use caution and good judgement when responding to or viewing any rental properties. When possible, it is best to take a friend with you when you inspect property or meet with someone you do not know.
Use these boards to search for and/or post information about available housing. They are located on the Homepage below the Main Menu List on the left side. (Scroll down to view or click on the hyper-linked title above.) The boards are divided by semester (Spring, Summer, Fall) and category (Roommates, Subleases, and Rentals). Additionally, there is a board for "Faculty/Staff/Family Housing" and "For Sale" housing. To post an advertisement, click on the message board of your choice, and click the button at the top labeled "Submit Topic". Follow the prompts. Once completed, click on submit and your ad will immediately post to the website. Posts are generally removed after 30 days.

Newspaper Classified Ads
Use these links to look for housing advertisements that may not be listed elsewhere. The newspapers can be a good source for locating housing opportunities offered by local community members.
Use this link to retrieve contact information for local realtors through the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce website. Realtors often have information regarding rental properties that may not be listed in other locations.
Craig's List (Boone)This link will take you directly to Boone's Craig List.
Map of Boone (interactive)Use this map during your housing search to determine your proximity to campus. This mapquest map enables you to zoom in and out and search for local addresses. ASU's campus is highlighted in purple.
Use these maps during your housing search to determine your proximity to the AppalCart routes. We strongly suggest that students live on or near the bus route, particulary if they do not own a car. These maps will not only provide an overview of the routes, but the specific times and locations for pick-up.
