Sustain Greenville

Sustain Greenville - Who we are

Sustain Greenville is a 100% volunteer organization that works to encourage and facilitate eco-friendly activities that promote a more sustainable environment. We work with families, individuals, and local government to reduce our carbon footprint and global warming, and support native plants and animals by using activities that are easy for citizens to apply.

Examples include sponsoring the Sustain Greenville Farmers’ Market (the only 100% volunteer-led market in the state!), and several recycling and educational events. You are invited and encouraged to get involved in any or all of the following ways:

We have Rain Barrels available!

If you're interested in purchasing a custom made rain barrel, made by one of our Sustain Greenville members, please stop by the Village Hall during regular business hours. The purchase price is $40.

Once payment is received, your new rain barrel will be available for pickup the next business day.

We may now have chickens in Greenville!

On February 7th 2024, the village Board passed an amendment to an ordinance that will now allow up to 4 chickens (hens only) or ducks on properties zones RR which are under 3 acres and R1. Read more here:
