Recycling in Greenville: A Local Guide
Greenville, a Piscataquis County gateway town near Moosehead Lake, is served by two municipally linked facilities open the same three days each week—Sunday, Monday, and Thursday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Both require a current Town of Greenville Transfer Station sticker, which is free for the first two per household per year and available at the Town Office or Transfer Station with proof of residency in Greenville, Harford's Point, Big Moose Township, or Moosehead Junction Township.
As of August 2, 2026, the Town of Greenville directs all recycling to Bolster's Recycling Center at the Moose Head Rubbish site, 35 Cotas Drive. This facility accepts cardboard (including brown paper bags), newspapers, catalogs, mixed paper, plastics #1 and #2 (washed), and tin and aluminum cans—free of charge. Universal waste including fluorescent and HID bulbs and Ni-Cad batteries is also accepted. CRT televisions and computer CPUs carry a $5 per-item fee. Loads that contain recyclables will not be accepted at the adjacent Transfer Station.
The Greenville Transfer Station at 29 Sheridan Circle handles everything else: household rubbish (free), paint and stains (free via PaintCare), clean brush and tree parts (free), scrap metal and appliances without Freon (free), appliances with Freon ($10 each), rimless tires ($4–$90 depending on size), propane tanks ($5 each), and construction and demolition debris ($300/ton). Residents-only curbside rubbish pickup runs every Monday, and curbside recycling is collected the first Monday of each month.

Frequently Asked Questions — Recycling in Greenville
Do I need a sticker to use either facility in Greenville?
Yes. A valid Town of Greenville Transfer Station sticker must be affixed to your vehicle for both Bolster's Recycling Center and the Transfer Station. The first two stickers per household per year are free; additional stickers cost $25 each. Obtain yours at the Town Office or Transfer Station with proof of residency or property ownership in one of the eligible communities.
Where do I bring recyclables in Greenville—the Transfer Station or the recycling center?
Effective August 2, 2026, all recyclables (cardboard, paper, plastics #1–#2, tin and aluminum cans) must go to Bolster's Recycling Center at 35 Cotas Drive, not the Transfer Station building. The Transfer Station will reject loads containing recyclables. Both sites keep the same hours: Sunday, Monday, and Thursday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Does it cost anything to drop off an old TV or CRT monitor in Greenville?
Yes. Bolster's Recycling Center charges $5 per item for CRT televisions and computer CPUs. Standard household recyclables are free. For flat-screen or LCD TVs, contact the Town of Greenville to confirm current fees, as only CRTs are specifically mentioned on verified sources.
Can I drop off paint or tires at the Greenville Transfer Station?
Yes to both. Paint and stains are accepted free via the PaintCare take-back program. Rimless tires cost $4 each for car/pickup/motorcycle size, $10 for truck/tractor-trailer tires, and $90 for skidder tires. Tires must have rims removed before drop-off.
