Service to single family homes is activated when someone inside the city limits signs up and activates an electric meter with Greenville Utilities. Single family homes automatically receive curbside service and must contact Public Works at 252-329-4522 or come by 1500 Beatty Street to purchase a City-approved container to be used for collection.
ECU Recycling Services
In an effort to support other university sustainability initiatives, Recycling Services strives to divert as much recyclable material as possible from our waste stream. As a division of Facilities Services, this program has expanded tremendously in scope and capacity, now recycling well over one million pounds of material annually.
Recycling Services focuses on the collection of paper, commingled drink containers, wood, metals, and corrugated cardboard. Other departments at ECU recycle automotive fluids, batteries, cooking grease, electronics, and ink cartridges. The university is committed to sustainability and encourages the campus community to recycle as much as possible.

In addition to the staff above, it is important to thank the most important members of the recycling community: you. Recycling is not only crucial for the environment, but it is also much more cost effective than waste removal. Items that are recycled avoid tipping costs, and actually bring revenues back to the university.
Please recycle as much as possible when on campus, and in your local community when off-campus.
Community Outreach
Recycling Services is also active in community outreach. Through a partnership with recycling coordinators and staff from the City of Greenville, Pitt County, ECVC, and Waste Industries, a project called Feed the Bin was initiated. The goal of this project is to provide education and recycling capability for all 5th graders throughout the Pitt County School system. This ongoing project has greatly reduced waste in the area, and is helping to establish a long-term positive culture for recycling in our community.
Recycling Services also partners with Keep Greenville Beautiful in promoting recycling, litter reduction, and beautification in our community. This organization welcomes new members and volunteers!
