When you choose proper recycling services, your cardboard, paper, and containers actually make it to processing facilities instead of ending up in dumps. Up to half of recyclables collected by some services are deemed unusable due to contamination – but that’s not how we do recycling.
You get transparent processes where materials are sorted correctly, sent to legitimate recycling centers throughout Nassau County, and turned into new products. Your business or home maintains compliance with local regulations without the guesswork.
The result? Lower waste disposal costs, reduced environmental impact, and the peace of mind that comes from working with a service that actually does what we promise.
Millennium Container Service Inc. has been a family-owned and operated, fully licensed and insured company serving Nassau County for over 20 years since 2000. We’re not a massive corporation trying to manage every market – we’re focused on doing recycling right in our local area.
We maintain connections with recycling centers and landfills throughout Nassau County, including donation centers. This means your recyclables actually reach the right destinations instead of getting mixed with regular trash.
Roslyn Heights and the surrounding Nassau County communities know they can count on us because we live here too. Nassau County leads with the highest recycling percentage of any municipal entity at 41%, and we’re proud to be part of that success.
We start by providing the right containers for your specific recycling needs – whether that’s regular household recyclables or large volumes of cardboard from your business. No guessing about what goes where.
Our team diligently goes through the materials to make sure all items are placed in their appropriate locations instead of just taking everything and dumping it. This sorting process is what separates real recycling from waste services that just talk about being green.
Your materials then go directly to our network of verified recycling facilities throughout Nassau County. Everything is handled in an ethical, responsible way that’s truly eco-conscious. You get confirmation that your recycling actually made it to the right place – not just a promise that it might.

Your recycling service includes proper container placement, regular scheduled pickups, and verified processing at legitimate facilities. We handle cardboard, paper, plastics, metals, and other standard recyclables that businesses and homes generate daily.
Nassau County businesses are increasingly depending on commercial waste disposal services to handle their waste effectively. For commercial accounts, this means containers sized appropriately for your volume, flexible pickup schedules, and documentation for compliance purposes.
Our pricing format is completely transparent and easy to understand – no surprise fees or complicated billing structures. You know exactly what you’re paying for and what services you’re getting. This includes the actual recycling processing, not just the pickup and transport that some services try to pass off as complete recycling.
We maintain connections with recycling centers and landfills throughout Nassau County and diligently sort materials to ensure all items are placed in their appropriate locations instead of dumping everything together. This means your cardboard goes to paper processing facilities, your metals go to metal recycling centers, and so on.
Many services see up to half their collected recyclables deemed unusable due to contamination, but our sorting process prevents this waste. We can provide documentation of where your materials go if you need it for business compliance or personal peace of mind.
The difference is in the process – we don’t just collect and hope for the best. We actively ensure materials reach the right processing facilities.
We handle standard corrugated cardboard boxes, office paper, newspapers, magazines, and most paper packaging materials. Cardboard needs to be flattened and cut or folded into pieces no larger than 2 feet by 3 feet for proper processing.
Items that can’t be recycled include cardboard contaminated with food waste, wax-coated boxes, and paper products mixed with other materials. Pizza boxes with grease cannot be recycled because the contamination affects the entire batch.
For businesses with large cardboard volumes, we can provide larger containers and more frequent pickups. The key is keeping materials clean and properly separated so they actually make it through the recycling process instead of being rejected at the facility.
Pickup frequency depends on your volume and needs. Most residential customers work well with weekly or bi-weekly service, while businesses often need more frequent pickups depending on their cardboard and paper generation.
We’re known for being punctual – customers specifically mention that we show up exactly when scheduled, including early morning pickups when requested. This reliability matters because inconsistent service leads to overflow and contamination issues.
We can adjust your schedule based on seasonal changes, special projects, or business growth. The goal is keeping your recyclables moving efficiently without creating storage problems or compliance issues for your property.
Regular garbage pickup typically involves everything going to the same place – usually a landfill or incinerator. Our recycling service involves actual separation and processing of materials into new products.
We dispose of materials in an ethical, responsible, eco-conscious way and sort items to ensure they reach appropriate locations rather than just dumping everything. This takes more effort and costs more to do properly, but it’s the difference between real recycling and waste disposal.
Many services claim to be “green” but don’t actually process materials separately. Our established connections with recycling centers and donation centers throughout Nassau County mean your materials have verified destinations, not just good intentions.
Yes, we serve both residential customers and businesses throughout Roslyn Heights and Nassau County. We can handle loads of all shapes and sizes, from single items to entire business or home cleanouts.
Commercial accounts often need larger containers, more frequent service, and documentation for compliance purposes. Nassau County businesses are increasingly depending on commercial waste disposal services that meet their particular needs and guarantee appropriate collection and disposal.
Residential service focuses on convenience and consistency – regular pickup schedules that work with your routine and containers that fit your space. Both types of customers get the same commitment to actual recycling rather than just waste removal.
When recycling guidelines aren’t followed, contamination results in recyclables being disposed of as garbage, and if there’s no effort to follow guidelines, recycling won’t be collected and will be left at the curb. This usually happens due to contamination or improper sorting.
Common issues include putting recyclables in plastic bags (which jam sorting equipment), including food-contaminated materials, or mixing non-recyclable items with good materials. Plastic bags slow the recycling process and create issues for recycling plants – recyclables in plastic bags will not be collected.
If materials get rejected, we’ll let you know what the issue was so you can fix it for next time. Our sorting process helps prevent these problems by ensuring materials are properly separated before they reach processing facilities. The goal is getting your recycling processed successfully, not just picked up.
