You don’t have time to sort through recycling rules that change every month. You need someone who knows exactly what can go where and handles it without the back-and-forth phone calls.
That’s what you get with our recycling services. No more wondering if your cardboard is too contaminated or if those plastic containers will actually get recycled. We handle the sorting, the pickup, and the proper disposal so you can focus on what actually matters to your business or home project.
When we’re done, your space is clear and your recycling is where it belongs. Not sitting in some corner because you weren’t sure what to do with it.
Since 2000, we’ve been the container service Centre Island businesses and homeowners call when they need recycling handled properly. We’re not the new company trying to figure things out as we go.
We know Nassau County’s recycling requirements inside and out. We know which facilities accept what materials and how to avoid the contamination issues that can derail your entire load.
Most importantly, we show up when we say we will. No surprise delays, no last-minute cancellations, no wondering if your dumpster will actually arrive on schedule.
First, you call us and tell us what you need recycled and when. We’ll recommend the right container size and explain exactly what can go in it. No guessing, no surprises later.
Second, we deliver your container exactly when we promised. Our drivers know Centre Island’s streets and access requirements, so there won’t be any problems with placement or permits.
Third, we pick up your full container and handle all the sorting and processing. Your recyclables go to the right facilities, and you get confirmation that everything was handled according to Nassau County requirements.

Your recycling service includes container delivery, pickup, and proper processing of cardboard, paper, metals, and approved plastics. We handle both residential cleanouts and commercial projects throughout Centre Island.
For businesses, we work around your schedule and provide regular service that keeps your recycling program compliant with local requirements. For homeowners, we make renovation and cleanout projects simpler by handling all the recycling logistics.
Centre Island’s location means you need a service that understands island access and timing. We’ve been navigating these requirements for over two decades, so your project won’t get delayed by logistics issues that catch other companies off guard.
You can recycle clean cardboard, office paper, newspapers, magazines, aluminum cans, steel cans, and plastic bottles marked #1 and #2. The key word is “clean” – materials contaminated with food waste, grease, or other substances can’t be recycled.
Cardboard needs to be broken down and free of tape, staples, and packing materials. Paper should be dry and not mixed with tissues or paper towels. Metal cans should be rinsed out completely.
We’ll go over the specific requirements for your project when you call, so you know exactly what can go in your container. This prevents contamination issues that can cause problems at the processing facility.
Most Centre Island deliveries happen within 24-48 hours of your call, depending on container availability and your specific location. We keep containers in stock specifically for Nassau County projects.
If you need same-day delivery, call us before noon and we can usually accommodate rush requests. For scheduled projects, we recommend calling at least 2-3 days in advance to guarantee your preferred delivery time.
Centre Island’s access requirements mean we need to coordinate delivery times carefully. We’ll confirm the exact window when you place your order and stick to that schedule.
We handle everything from delivery to final processing. You fill the container, we pick it up, sort the materials, and transport them to the appropriate recycling facilities throughout Nassau County.
You never need to haul anything yourself or worry about finding the right drop-off locations. We have established relationships with recycling processors and know exactly where each type of material needs to go.
After pickup, we provide confirmation that your materials were processed properly. This documentation is especially important for commercial customers who need to track their recycling for compliance or sustainability reporting.
Most residential cleanouts and small renovations work well with our 10 or 15-yard containers. Commercial projects and large home renovations typically need 20 or 30-yard containers, depending on the scope.
A 10-yard container holds about 3 pickup truck loads of material. A 20-yard container holds about 6 pickup truck loads. We’ll help you estimate based on your specific project when you call.
If you’re not sure, it’s usually better to start with a slightly larger container. Overfilling containers creates safety issues and can result in additional fees, so having adequate space is important.
We can’t accept hazardous materials, electronics, batteries, paint, chemicals, or contaminated materials in recycling containers. These items require special handling and disposal methods that recycling facilities can’t accommodate.
Food waste, yard waste, and construction debris also can’t go in recycling containers – these materials have different processing requirements. Paper or cardboard contaminated with food, grease, or chemicals also can’t be recycled.
If you have materials that can’t go in the recycling container, we can recommend the right disposal method or provide additional containers for different waste streams. The goal is making sure everything gets handled properly and safely.
Centre Island follows Nassau County recycling standards, but the island location creates some unique logistics considerations. Access restrictions and ferry schedules can affect delivery and pickup timing, especially during peak seasons.
We coordinate with local requirements for container placement and make sure deliveries don’t conflict with any island events or access limitations. Our drivers are familiar with Centre Island’s roads and know how to navigate the logistics smoothly.
The recycling requirements themselves are the same as the rest of Nassau County, but the execution requires more planning and coordination. That’s why working with a local company that understands Centre Island specifically makes the process much smoother.
