Pitt County Recycling Center

Pitt County Recycling Center in Greenville is the local spot for dropping off household recyclables and keeping stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors and small haulers use it for things like cardboard, cans, bottles and other common recyclables, and North Carolina does require special handling for electronics and hazardous items so expect those to be handled separately.

Drive in on Landfill Road and look for a small entrance booth and a weigh scale; vehicles usually stop there before moving on. After that, pull up to the concrete pads where large roll-off containers and recycling bins sit - the bins are typically to the right just past the booth. The site is open-air with paved lanes and clearly marked containers; trailers and pickup trucks are a common sight, so watch for backing vehicles. Weekends and spring clean-up times often have a line, so there can be a bit of waiting.
