About This Location

The Greenville Transfer Station, operated by the Town of Greenville at 29 Sheridan Circle (Greenville Industrial Park), is the community's municipal solid-waste and recycling drop-off facility serving residents of Greenville, Harford's Point, Big Moose Township, and Moosehead Junction. Open three days a week year-round—Sunday, Monday, and Thursday, 8 am to 4 pm—it accepts household rubbish, paint (free, via a take-back program), rimless tires, scrap metal, white goods, clean brush, tree parts, and construction & demolition debris (CDD). Effective August 2, 2026, all recyclables (cardboard, mixed paper, glass, #1 & #2 plastics, tin and aluminum cans) must be taken to the adjacent Bolster's Recycling Center at 35 Cotas Drive, which keeps the same hours. A valid Town of Greenville Transfer Station Sticker—issued free for the first two per household per year at the Town Office or the station itself—is required for entry; proof of residency or property ownership in the eligible communities is mandatory.
