What Proper Recycling Gets You

When your recyclables are handled correctly, you’re not just clearing space. You’re keeping materials out of Nassau County landfills and giving them new life as useful products.

Every ton of paper we recycle saves 17 trees and 700 gallons of water. Your cardboard boxes become new packaging. Your scrap metal turns into construction materials instead of sitting in the ground for decades.

The difference is working with a company that actually separates, sorts, and sends materials where they belong. Not everyone does this right, which is why up to half the “recyclables” collected in some areas end up as garbage anyway.

Cardboard Recycling Nassau County

What We Handle in Thomaston

We recycle corrugated cardboard, office paper, scrap metals, and construction debris. Nassau County has specific requirements for recyclable materials – they need to be clean, dry, and properly sized.

Cardboard boxes must be flattened and cut into pieces no larger than 2 feet by 3 feet. We handle this preparation so your materials actually get accepted at recycling facilities instead of rejected for improper sizing.

For Thomaston businesses and residents, we also coordinate with local recycling centers and can direct materials to specialized processors. Some items like electronics or hazardous materials need special handling, and we know exactly where these go in Nassau County.

We work with Nassau County’s recycling requirements, ensuring materials are properly prepared and sized. Cardboard gets flattened and cut to specifications, metals are sorted by type, and everything goes to facilities that actually process these materials into new products. We also coordinate with local recycling centers for specialized items.

We provide documentation showing where your materials went and what facilities processed them. Unlike some services that mix everything together, we sort materials properly and work directly with recycling processors.

Our relationships with local facilities like Gershow Recycling and other Nassau County processors mean your cardboard actually becomes new paper products, and your scrap metal becomes construction materials. We’ve been doing this for 25 years and can show you exactly what happens to your recyclables.

When materials can’t be recycled due to contamination or damage, we’ll tell you upfront and handle disposal responsibly instead of pretending everything gets recycled.

Regular trash collection in Thomaston typically mixes recyclables with garbage, and contaminated materials often end up in landfills even when placed in recycling bins. Our service separates materials properly from the start.

We bring containers specifically for recyclable materials and sort them according to what recycling facilities actually want. Clean cardboard stays separate from metals, which stay separate from paper products. This prevents contamination that makes entire loads unusable.

You also get flexibility in timing and container sizes that municipal collection doesn’t offer. We work around your project schedule, not a fixed weekly pickup that might not match when you’re generating recyclable materials.

Yes, we handle recyclable construction debris including clean wood, metals, cardboard packaging, and concrete. Construction materials require different processing than household recyclables, and we know which Nassau County facilities accept what.

Clean lumber can be processed into mulch or biomass fuel. Scrap metal from construction gets sorted by type – steel, aluminum, copper all go to different processors. Concrete and masonry can be crushed for road base material.

We can’t recycle contaminated materials, treated lumber, or anything mixed with hazardous substances. But for clean construction waste, we’ll maximize what gets diverted from landfills and turned into new products.

We have containers from 6 yards up to 30 yards, depending on your recycling volume and space constraints. Smaller containers work well for residential cardboard and paper recycling, while larger ones handle commercial or construction recycling projects.

Our trucks are sized for Nassau County neighborhoods and can access locations that larger waste companies can’t reach. We’ll recommend the right container size based on your materials and timeline.

All containers are clearly marked for recycling and come with guidelines for what can and can’t be included. This prevents contamination that would make your recyclables unusable.

Recycling service costs depend on container size, materials being recycled, and pickup frequency. Clean recyclables often cost less to dispose of than regular trash because they have value as raw materials.

We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Some materials like scrap metals might even generate revenue that offsets disposal costs. Cardboard and paper recycling is typically more affordable than landfill disposal.

For ongoing commercial recycling, we can set up scheduled service that’s often more cost-effective than individual pickups. We’ll work with your budget and recycling volume to find the most economical approach.
