G & W Transfer & Recycle Sta on ME-26 in Greenwood is where locals drop off household recyclables and the odd bulky thing that won’t fit in a curbside bin. Neighbors, small contractors, and folks doing property cleanups stop through here; it’s a small, working place rather than a showroom. Expect practical, no-frills service and a yard-like setup.
Drive onto the site and there’s usually a small booth and a scale-many transfer stations weigh vehicles so a second stop on the way out is common. Recycling bins for paper, cardboard, bottles and cans are typically grouped together, with separate containers or spots for scrap metal and larger items if accepted. The lot looks like a working yard: roll-off containers, piles, and pickup trucks coming and going instead of neat retail aisles. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup season, tend to get backed up so lines are not unusual.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into paper/cardboard, mixed containers, and scrap metal to speed unloading.
- Cover loose loads with a tarp or tie items down so nothing blows out onto ME‑26.
- Try a weekday or late afternoon run to avoid the worst of the weekend lines, particularly in spring.
