You handle your business. We handle your recycling. No more wondering if materials are getting processed correctly or dealing with missed pickups that leave you scrambling.
When your recycling runs smoothly, you’re contributing to Nassau County’s impressive 41% recycling rate – the highest in the county. Your cardboard, paper, and containers get properly sorted and processed through certified facilities, not dumped in landfills.
The result? A cleaner Hewlett Bay, lower disposal costs, and the peace of mind that comes from working with professionals who’ve been doing this right for over 20 years.
We’ve been serving Nassau County since 2000. We’re not some national chain – we’re Long Island natives who graduated from Hofstra and C.W. Post, with deep roots in this community.
We’ve watched Hewlett Bay grow and change over two decades. That local knowledge matters when you need reliable recycling pickup that actually shows up on time. Our trucks know these streets, our team understands the unique needs of Five Towns businesses and residents.
Being family-owned, fully licensed, and insured isn’t just about meeting requirements. It means every job matters to us personally because this is our neighborhood too.
First, we assess your recycling needs – whether it’s regular cardboard pickup for your business or container service for a home cleanout. No guessing about container sizes or pickup frequency.
We deliver the right equipment to your location in Hewlett Bay. Our trucks are sized to navigate local streets and fit in tight spaces that bigger companies can’t handle.
You fill containers with acceptable recyclables – cardboard, paper, metals, and approved plastics. We provide clear guidelines so nothing gets contaminated or rejected at the processing facility.
On your scheduled pickup day, we collect everything and transport it to certified recycling facilities where materials get properly sorted and processed. You get confirmation that your recycling was handled correctly, not just picked up and forgotten.

Our recycling services cover everything businesses and homeowners in Hewlett Bay actually need. Cardboard recycling for retail stores and offices. Mixed paper collection for professional offices. Container services for construction debris and renovation materials.
We work with Hewlett Bay’s unique recycling requirements. The area is served by Sanitary District No. 1, which operates one of Nassau County’s most advanced Materials Recovery Facilities. This means your recyclables get processed locally, supporting the community’s environmental goals.
Local businesses especially benefit from our commercial recycling programs. Regular pickup schedules keep your back rooms clear. Proper sorting prevents contamination that could get your entire load rejected. Competitive pricing helps your bottom line while meeting environmental responsibilities.
Whether you need weekly service or one-time container rental, we have the equipment and experience to handle jobs of any size throughout the Five Towns area.
We handle all standard recyclables including corrugated cardboard, mixed office paper, newspapers, magazines, aluminum cans, steel cans, and approved plastic containers. Cardboard must be clean and flattened, free of wax coatings or food contamination.
Mixed paper includes office paper, junk mail, and magazines but not paper towels, tissues, or food-soiled materials. For metals, we accept aluminum cans, steel food cans, and clean scrap metal. Plastic containers should be rinsed and have recycling numbers 1-7 clearly visible.
We cannot accept glass through our regular service due to contamination issues affecting most Nassau County programs. Hazardous materials, electronics, and batteries require special handling through county programs. When in doubt, call us at (516) 826-5544 – we’d rather clarify upfront than have materials rejected at the facility.
Pickup frequency depends on your specific needs and volume. Most Hewlett Bay businesses need weekly or bi-weekly service, while residential customers often prefer monthly or as-needed pickup for larger volumes.
We coordinate with the area’s existing municipal schedule – Sanitary District No. 1 collects residential recycling on alternating Wednesdays. Our commercial service works around this to avoid conflicts and ensure your materials get processed efficiently.
For construction projects or major cleanouts, we provide flexible scheduling including same-week service when available. Container rentals can stay on-site for days or weeks depending on your project timeline. We’ve found that most customers prefer consistent, predictable service over sporadic pickup that leaves materials sitting around.
We provide all necessary containers as part of our service. For regular pickup, we supply appropriately sized bins or larger containers depending on your volume. Commercial customers typically get wheeled bins for easy handling, while larger operations might need roll-off containers.
Container sizes range from small bins for office paper to large roll-offs for construction debris. We’ll assess your needs during setup and can adjust container size if your volume changes. All containers remain our property and get maintained by our team.
For businesses with limited space, we offer flexible pickup arrangements. Containers can be stored inside and wheeled out for pickup, or we can coordinate pickup from loading docks or designated areas. The goal is making recycling convenient for your operation, not creating additional hassles.
Prevention is always better than dealing with rejected loads. We provide clear guidelines upfront about acceptable materials and proper preparation. Our drivers are trained to spot potential contamination issues before materials reach the processing facility.
If contamination occurs, we work with you to identify the problem and prevent it from happening again. Common issues include food-soiled cardboard, mixed materials that should be separated, or non-recyclable items accidentally included. Most problems are easily fixed with minor process adjustments.
In cases where loads get rejected at the facility, we handle the additional disposal costs and work with you on corrective measures. Our 20+ years of experience means we’ve seen most contamination issues before and know how to prevent them. The key is communication – if you’re unsure about any material, ask us before including it.
Our pricing is competitive with other Nassau County recycling services, but we focus on total value rather than just the lowest price. This includes reliable pickup, proper handling, and local expertise that prevents costly mistakes.
Many companies quote low rates but add fees for things like container delivery, contamination handling, or fuel surcharges. Our pricing is transparent with no hidden costs. We also help customers optimize their service level – sometimes smaller containers with more frequent pickup cost less than oversized containers that sit half-empty.
For businesses, proper recycling often reduces overall waste disposal costs since recycling pickup typically costs less than garbage service. We can analyze your current waste stream and identify opportunities for cost savings through better recycling practices. The goal is making recycling both environmentally responsible and economically smart.
Yes, we regularly handle large recycling projects including office moves, retail renovations, and construction cleanup throughout Hewlett Bay and Nassau County. Our equipment includes various container sizes and specialized trucks for different situations.
Large projects require coordination with local regulations and facility capacity. We handle permitting if needed and schedule around other site activities. Our experience includes everything from single-day office cleanouts to multi-week construction projects with ongoing recycling needs.
Project planning is crucial for success. We assess the scope upfront, recommend appropriate container sizes and pickup schedules, and provide clear guidelines for material separation. Our local knowledge helps avoid delays – we know which materials Nassau County facilities process efficiently and which require special handling. This prevents surprises that could derail project timelines.
