Port Terminal Recycling Center

Port Terminal Recycling Center is the local recycling drop-off in Greenville for residents who want to keep things out of the landfill. Neighbors bring everything from cardboard and cans to larger items, and the place gets steady use from people doing yard or house cleanouts.

Expect a fairly large yard with roll-off containers and piles of sorted materials - concrete, metal, paper, and plastics are common sights. There’s typically an entrance booth and a scale, so plan to pull up, tell them what’s in the load, and then move on to the correct container area. Electronics and hazardous items are handled differently in North Carolina, so those are usually separated from the regular recycling piles. Weekends and spring cleanup times can be busy, with a line of trucks and trailers waiting to get in.
