Recycling Center in Greenwood, Delaware
About This Location
The Republic Services Farmington Transfer Station sits on South Dupont Highway (US-13) in Greenwood, Delaware, in the farming country of western Sussex County. A transfer station is a consolidation point: waste arrives from residential, commercial and community haulers, is transferred, and is then trucked out to a regional landfill or recycling facility. It functions mainly as a commercial transfer operation rather than a staffed household recycling drop-off, so anyone planning to bring material in person should call ahead to confirm access, accepted loads and tipping fees. Listed hours are Monday through Friday, closed weekends.
