North Greenville Recycling Center is the local recycling drop-off on Rutherford Road that people from Greenville bring curbside recyclables and bulky items to. Neighbors use it when the weekly pickup won’t take something or during big cleanups; the site is meant to keep as much out of the landfill as possible. It’s the kind of place seen more often on weekends and during yard-cleaning season.

Drive up the gravel/parking area and look for the small entrance booth where staff usually manage traffic and direct vehicles. The main recycling bins and containers sit in an open yard, with piles and roll-offs for paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, and metal; many county centers also have separate collection options for electronics or appliances on scheduled days. Expect to pull up, sort items into the correct container, and then exit past the scale or exit lane. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, and larger trucks or trailers make the site feel a bit crowded at times.

Before You Go

  • Bring materials already sorted by type so unloading is quicker; mixing everything together slows things down for everyone.
  • Have straps or a tarp handy if hauling loose items in a pickup or trailer - wind and traffic can scatter lightweight recyclables.
  • Arrive early on Saturdays if possible; lines and wait times tend to grow later in the morning.
