Transfer Station
Lily bay transfer station
Lily Bay Rd, Greenville, ME 04441
Lily Bay Transfer Station on Lily Bay Rd in Greenville, Maine is where locals bring household trash, recyclables and the occasional bulky item. Residents from town and nearby camps use it because the site compacts waste and then trucks it out to a landfill elsewhere.
Expect a working yard rather than anything fancy. Most transfer stations have an entrance scale and a small booth or pay point where loads are noted or paid for, and vehicles then pull up to a series of drop-off spots or a compactor. Bring materials already separated as much as possible; unloading is done from the tailgate and people tend to move in a line through the site. Weekends, especially spring-cleanup weekends, can get backed up so waits are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go

- Aim for weekday mornings or late afternoons if possible; Saturday mornings and spring weekends are the busiest times.
