You’re not just getting rid of stuff – you’re contributing to something bigger. When your cardboard, paper, and containers get processed correctly, they become new products instead of landfill waste.
Over 33 million tons of cardboard gets recycled nationally each year – about 90,000 tons per day. That massive number happens because of individual decisions like yours to recycle properly rather than just toss everything in the trash.
Your materials get sorted by people who know what they’re doing. We go through your debris to determine what can be recycled, what can be repurposed or reused, and what actually needs disposal. The result? Less waste heading to Nassau County landfills and more materials staying in the production cycle where they belong.
We’ve been serving Nassau County families and businesses for more than 20 years. We’re not some corporate chain with call centers – we’re your neighbors who understand how things work around here.
Nassau County requires garbage and recycling companies to carry valid licenses and insurance. We’ve got both, plus the experience that comes from handling thousands of recycling jobs across Glenwood Landing and surrounding communities. Nassau County already achieves 41% recycling rates – the highest of any municipal entity in the county – and we’re part of making that happen.
When you call us, you’re working with people who’ve seen every type of recycling challenge and know how to handle it efficiently.
First, you tell us what you need recycled and when. We’ll discuss your materials – whether it’s cardboard from a business move, mixed recyclables from a home cleanout, or ongoing commercial recycling needs.
We bring the right equipment to your location, including small and large trucks that can fit almost anywhere. Our team sorts through everything on-site, separating what can be recycled from what needs different handling.
Materials like glass, #1 and #2 plastics, cans, paper, and flattened cardboard get processed through proper recycling channels. Items that can’t be recycled get disposed of responsibly. We stick to our schedule – customers regularly tell us about early morning pickups completed by 7:30am when requested. You get confirmation when everything’s complete.

Your recycling service covers proper sorting, transportation, and processing of accepted materials. We handle clean containers, bottles, and jars, plus paper and cardboard that’s kept dry to maintain recyclability.
For Glenwood Landing businesses and residents, this means your materials actually make it into the recycling stream instead of getting contaminated or rejected. We focus on recycling and donation whenever possible, trying to give items still in good condition a chance for new life while avoiding unnecessary trips to Nassau County landfills.
Container options range from 10 to 40 yards, so whether you’re handling a small office cleanout or a major construction project with significant recyclable materials, we’ve got the right size. The service includes delivery, pickup, and proper processing – no hidden steps or surprise fees for doing the job correctly.
We handle glass, #1 and #2 plastics, aluminum and steel cans, paper, and flattened cardboard. These are the materials that actually get processed through Nassau County’s recycling systems.
Pizza boxes with food residue or excess grease can’t be recycled, and paper or cardboard needs to stay dry to prevent mold and brittleness that reduces recyclability. We’ll sort through your materials and let you know what qualifies and what needs different handling. The key is keeping recyclables clean and separate from contaminated materials that could ruin an entire batch.
Pricing varies – some companies charge by volume while others charge by weight, so it’s important to understand the pricing structure upfront. Proper recycling often costs less than you’d expect because recyclable materials have value.
When we sort your debris to separate recyclables from actual waste, you’re often paying to dispose of much less material than if everything went to a landfill. Plus, many businesses find that regular recycling pickup costs less than frequent trash removal because recyclables take up significant volume that doesn’t need expensive disposal. We provide detailed pricing explanations so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
We provide containers in sizes from 10 to 40 yards depending on your project size and space constraints. Our equipment includes small and large trucks that can access almost any location, so we can work around tight driveways or limited space situations.
For ongoing commercial recycling, we’ll set up a container system that works with your schedule and volume. For one-time residential projects, we deliver the right-sized container when you need it and pick it up when you’re done. The key is keeping recyclables loose rather than bagged, since plastic bags damage sorting equipment. We’ll explain the best way to load your specific materials.
We’ve been licensed and insured in Nassau County for over 20 years, which means we’re subject to regular oversight and regulatory requirements. Nassau County has achieved a 41% recycling rate – the highest of any municipal entity in the county – and that happens because licensed companies like us actually process materials correctly.
We physically sort your debris on-site to separate recyclables from waste, and you can see the process happening. Our trucks take sorted materials to different facilities – recyclables go to processing centers while non-recyclable waste goes to appropriate disposal sites. Recycled materials get turned into new products, with about half of all recycled paper becoming containerboard for new cardboard boxes. We can provide documentation of where your materials go if you need it for environmental reporting.
We sort through your materials to determine what can be recycled, what can be repurposed, and what needs disposal. Contamination happens, and we’re equipped to handle mixed loads rather than rejecting everything.
Clean containers work best – rinsing cans, bottles, and jars helps ensure they can be processed. But if some items are contaminated, we separate the usable recyclables from the problematic materials. Plastic bags are particularly problematic because they tangle sorting equipment and slow down processing, so we remove those and handle them separately. You’re not penalized for imperfect sorting – that’s exactly why professional recycling services exist.
We serve businesses of all kinds and sizes, from retail and restaurant locations to warehouses and industrial facilities. Businesses create large amounts of waste daily, and we’re set up to handle significant commercial recycling needs.
Our container sizes go up to 40 yards for large projects, and we can schedule regular pickups that work with your business operations. We stick to agreed schedules – customers report on-time service including early morning pickups when needed. For ongoing commercial accounts, we’ll work out a service schedule that keeps your recycling flowing without disrupting your business. Commercial sources generate significant recyclable materials, so proper handling makes both environmental and economic sense.
