You know that pile of cardboard boxes in your garage? The one that’s been growing since your last Amazon delivery spree? It’s gone. Same with those plastic containers you’ve been meaning to sort properly for weeks.
When you work with a recycling service that actually knows what they’re doing, your weekends stop revolving around trips to the transfer station. Your garage becomes a place for your car again. Your business runs smoother without bins overflowing and pickup schedules you have to track.
The best part? You’re not just clearing space. You’re contributing to keeping Oyster Bay Cove’s natural beauty intact for the next generation without the guesswork or heavy lifting.
We’ve been handling recycling and container services throughout Nassau County for over 20 years. This isn’t some national chain that treats your neighborhood like just another stop on the route.
Millennium Container Service was founded by Long Island natives who understand the unique needs of communities like Oyster Bay Cove. We know Winter’s Brothers doesn’t handle your bulk items or construction debris. We know the alternating recycling schedule can be confusing. We know glass isn’t accepted curbside anymore.
That local knowledge translates into service that actually works for how you live and work in this area. Fully licensed, fully insured, and fully committed to keeping our corner of Long Island clean.
First, you call and tell us what you need recycled. Cardboard from that home office renovation? Construction materials from your kitchen update? Mixed recyclables that have been piling up? We’ve handled it all before.
Next, we bring the right size container to your location. Our trucks are designed to fit in almost any driveway or job site, so access isn’t usually a problem. You fill it at your own pace.
When you’re ready, we pick everything up and handle the sorting and processing. No more wondering if you’re putting the right materials in the right bins. No more trips to different facilities for different types of waste. We take care of the entire recycling process so you can focus on what matters to you.

Your cardboard boxes, office paper, and newspapers all get processed properly. Plastic containers labeled #1 and #2 go to facilities that can actually handle them. Metal cans and aluminum get sorted for maximum recovery value.
Here in Oyster Bay Cove, you’re dealing with specific local challenges other areas don’t face. Glass can’t go in your curbside bins anymore, but it can be handled through proper commercial recycling channels. Construction debris from home improvements needs special handling that your regular pickup doesn’t cover.
Our service includes containers sized for your specific project, professional pickup on your schedule, and proper processing that meets all local and state requirements. You get transparent pricing upfront, so there are no surprise fees when the job is done.
You can recycle cardboard boxes, office paper, newspapers, plastic bottles and containers labeled #1 and #2, metal cans, and aluminum products. Construction materials like clean wood, metal scraps, and concrete can also be processed separately.
Glass requires special handling since it’s no longer accepted in Oyster Bay Cove’s curbside program, but it can be processed through commercial recycling channels. Mixed recyclables are sorted at the facility, so you don’t need to separate everything perfectly beforehand.
The key is letting us know what types of materials you have when you call. That way we can bring the right size container and ensure everything gets processed at the appropriate facility.
Winter’s Brothers handles your regular household recycling pickup, but their contract with Oyster Bay Cove doesn’t include bulk items, construction debris, or excessive amounts of recyclable materials. That’s where our container service fills the gap.
If you’re renovating your kitchen, cleaning out your basement, or dealing with a business cleanout, you need more capacity than curbside pickup provides. We bring a dumpster sized for your project and handle pickup when you’re ready.
The pricing is also different. Instead of the per-item fees Winter’s Brothers charges for special pickups, you get transparent container pricing that covers delivery, pickup, and proper recycling processing. It’s often more cost-effective for larger projects.
Containers range from 6-yard bins perfect for small cleanouts to 40-yard containers that can handle major construction or commercial projects. Most residential recycling projects work well with 10 to 20-yard containers.
A 10-yard container holds about 3 pickup truck loads of material and works well for garage cleanouts or small renovation projects. A 20-yard container holds about 6 pickup truck loads and is popular for larger home projects or small business cleanouts.
The key is matching the container size to your project scope. Too small and you’ll run out of space. Too large and you’re paying for capacity you don’t need. We help you choose the right size based on what you’re recycling and how much space you’re working with.
Rental periods are flexible and based on your project timeline. Most residential recycling projects need the container for 3-7 days, while larger commercial or construction projects might need 2-3 weeks.
The pricing typically includes a standard rental period, with options to extend if your project takes longer than expected. It’s better to estimate a bit longer than you think you’ll need, rather than rushing to fill the container.
You can also arrange for pickup as soon as you’re finished, even if it’s earlier than planned. The goal is working around your schedule, not forcing you to work around arbitrary pickup dates.
Yes, we offer commercial recycling service for businesses throughout the Oyster Bay Cove area. This includes regular pickup schedules for offices, retail locations, restaurants, and other commercial properties.
Commercial service can include separate containers for different material types, or single-stream recycling where everything gets sorted at the facility. The approach depends on your business type, space constraints, and volume of recyclable materials.
Many local businesses find that professional recycling service actually saves money compared to mixing everything in with regular garbage. Plus it supports the environmental goals that are increasingly important to customers and employees in this area.
Materials go to certified recycling facilities where they’re sorted, processed, and turned into new products. Cardboard becomes new boxes and paper products. Plastic containers become new bottles, containers, and even clothing fibers. Metal gets melted down for new cans and construction materials.
The facilities we use meet all state and federal environmental requirements, and materials are tracked through the recycling process. This ensures that what you put in the container actually gets recycled, not just shipped to a landfill somewhere else.
You’re contributing to a genuine recycling loop that reduces the need for virgin materials and keeps waste out of landfills. It’s environmental responsibility that actually works, handled by people who understand both the local requirements and the broader recycling industry.
