You’re tired of recycling confusion. Different rules every year. Materials getting rejected. Extra fees for contamination. Wondering if anything actually gets recycled anymore.
Here’s what changes when you work with us: Your recyclables get picked up reliably, sorted correctly, and actually processed into new materials. You get proof of where everything goes. No more guessing if you’re helping the environment or just paying extra for garbage collection.
Your recycling runs smoothly while Nassau County regulations keep shifting. You focus on your business while we handle the complexity of cardboard recycling, container service, and proper material processing.
We’re Millennium Container Service, serving Flower Hill and Nassau County since 2000. Twenty-four years of watching recycling rules change, markets shift, and businesses struggle with waste management complexity.
As a family-owned company, we stick around when things get difficult. We adapted when China stopped accepting recyclables. We helped customers navigate new sorting requirements. We found solutions when other companies started refusing materials.
You get service from people who understand Flower Hill’s traffic patterns, Nassau County’s changing regulations, and Long Island’s unique waste management challenges. We’re not a corporate call center—we’re your neighbors.
First, we evaluate your current recycling situation and volume. What’s working? What’s causing problems? What materials do you generate most?
Then we set up proper container service with the right size containers and pickup schedule. Our team collects your recyclables using equipment designed for different material types. Clean cardboard gets handled differently than mixed office paper.
Everything goes to verified processing facilities where materials actually get turned into new products. You receive documentation showing exactly where your recyclables went and what happened to them. No mystery about whether you’re actually helping the environment.

Your recycling services include all currently accepted materials: cardboard, office paper, newspapers, magazines, plastic containers marked 1 and 2, aluminum cans, and steel containers. We provide containers, pickup, sorting, and transportation to processing facilities.
In Flower Hill specifically, we work around village regulations and coordinate with other service providers in your area. We know which streets have parking restrictions, when pickup works best for different neighborhoods, and how to handle service for multi-tenant buildings.
You also get responsive support when regulations change—and they will change. Long Island recycling rules have shifted dramatically in recent years. When new requirements affect your service, we handle the transition and update your procedures accordingly.
Currently, we handle cardboard, office paper, newspapers, magazines, plastic bottles and containers marked 1 and 2, aluminum cans, and steel food containers. These materials have reliable processing facilities and actually get turned into new products.
Glass collection is suspended in most Nassau County areas due to contamination issues that make processing impossible. Many plastic types beyond 1 and 2 also can’t be processed reliably since China stopped accepting mixed plastics.
We stay current on which materials have actual recycling markets versus which ones end up in landfills despite good intentions. You get honest information about what’s really recyclable, not wishful thinking about environmental benefits.
We coordinate with Flower Hill’s village regulations and your existing waste collection schedule. Most commercial customers get weekly recycling pickup, but we adjust frequency based on your actual volume and needs.
For businesses on busy streets, we schedule pickup during off-peak hours to avoid traffic issues. Multi-tenant buildings get coordinated service that works with building management requirements and doesn’t interfere with other tenants.
We also handle special situations like increased cardboard volume during busy retail seasons or extra paper recycling during office cleanouts. Flexible scheduling that adapts to your real-world needs, not rigid corporate policies.
We actually recycle your materials through verified processing facilities. You get documentation showing where your recyclables went and confirmation they were processed into new products, not landfilled.
This transparency matters because recycling markets have changed dramatically since 2018. Many materials that used to be recyclable now end up in landfills due to contamination or lack of processing capacity. Some companies still collect these materials and charge recycling fees while sending everything to landfills.
We only accept materials that have reliable processing outlets. When market conditions change, we update you immediately on what’s actually recyclable versus what’s just expensive garbage collection.
We handle regulation changes automatically. Long Island recycling rules have changed multiple times in recent years—some towns switched from single-stream to dual-stream collection, others stopped accepting glass entirely, and plastic acceptance varies by municipality.
When changes happen, we update your service without extra work on your end. New containers if needed, revised sorting procedures, different pickup requirements—we manage the transition and train your staff on any new requirements.
You get advance notice of changes that affect your service, plus updated guidelines and signage. We’ve navigated these transitions before and know how to keep your recycling program compliant while regulations keep shifting.
Pricing depends on your volume, pickup frequency, and container requirements. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees for fuel surcharges, environmental compliance, or regulatory changes.
Most businesses find our service cost-effective compared to managing recycling internally or dealing with contamination fees from other providers. Proper handling from the start prevents rejection fees that happen when recyclables get contaminated.
We quote based on your actual needs after evaluating your current situation. If your volume changes significantly, pricing adjusts accordingly. No long-term contracts—you continue service because it works reliably, not because you’re locked into corporate terms.
Yes, we handle high-volume recycling including construction sites, large office buildings, retail locations, and special events. Our container service includes small bins for offices up to large roll-off containers for major projects.
For construction sites in Flower Hill, we coordinate with project schedules and local permit requirements. Clean cardboard recycling gets handled differently than mixed construction debris. We separate materials properly to maximize actual recycling versus landfill disposal.
We also manage volume fluctuations for businesses with seasonal needs—retail locations during busy periods, restaurants with varying cardboard volume, or offices during relocations. Our equipment and scheduling flexibility handle volume spikes without service interruptions or emergency fees.
