You know that pile of cardboard in your garage isn’t going anywhere on its own. And those municipal pickup rules keep changing – flattened to 2×3 feet, no plastic bags, clean and dry only. It’s enough to make you want to just throw everything in the trash.
Here’s what happens when you work with us. Your recyclables get sorted properly, not contaminated with the wrong materials. Everything goes where it’s supposed to – donations to local charities, proper recycling facilities, not just the nearest landfill. You get your space back without wondering if you’re part of the problem.
The difference is working with people who live here too. We see the same “landfills filling up” headlines you do. We want University Gardens to stay the kind of place our kids can enjoy.
We’ve been handling Nassau County’s recycling and container needs for over two decades. We’re not some corporate outfit that bought a local name – we’re the family business that started here in 2000.
Our team graduated from Hofstra and C.W. Post. We live in these communities. When we say we want to keep Long Island beautiful for future generations, we mean our neighbors, our kids, our community.
Being locally owned means we understand University Gardens specifically. We know which materials Nassau County actually accepts, what preparation they require, and how to handle the stuff that needs special disposal. No guessing, no “oops, that’s not recyclable after all.”
You call us at 516-826-5544 and tell us what you need handled. Cardboard from a move, office paper cleanout, mixed recyclables that have been piling up – whatever it is.
We show up with the right equipment for your situation. Small truck for tight driveways, larger containers for bigger jobs. Our team sorts everything properly on-site, so you know it’s being handled right.
Clean recyclables go to proper facilities. Items in good condition get donated to local charities. Everything else gets disposed of responsibly. You get confirmation of where your materials went, not just “we took care of it.”
The whole process is transparent. No surprise fees, no “that’ll cost extra” after we’re already there. You know what you’re paying upfront, and that’s what you pay.

Your recycling service covers the materials Nassau County actually wants – and handles the ones they don’t. Clean cardboard, office paper, metal containers, proper plastics. We know the local rules about flattening boxes to 2×3 feet and removing all tape and packaging.
For University Gardens businesses, we handle the commercial recycling requirements too. Office paper, cardboard from shipments, and the document destruction that needs to happen securely. Regular pickup schedules or on-demand service when you’re cleaning out.
What makes this work for University Gardens specifically is understanding the local infrastructure. We know which recycling centers accept what materials, where electronics need to go for proper e-waste handling, and which local charities can use donated items. This isn’t generic recycling – it’s recycling that works for your neighborhood.
Container sizes range from small bins for regular pickup to larger roll-off containers for major cleanouts. Flexible rental periods because your project timeline matters more than our schedule.
We handle everything Nassau County accepts plus the materials they don’t. Clean cardboard (flattened to 2×3 feet), office paper, metal containers, approved plastics, glass that meets bottle return requirements. But we also take care of electronics, appliances, and materials that need special handling.
The key difference is proper sorting. Municipal recycling gets rejected when materials are contaminated – pizza boxes with grease, recyclables in plastic bags, items that aren’t cleaned properly. We sort everything correctly so your materials actually get recycled instead of ending up in landfills anyway.
For commercial customers in University Gardens, we handle office paper, cardboard from shipments, and secure document destruction. Everything gets processed according to local regulations, not generic corporate policies.
Pricing depends on what you need handled and how much material you have. Small residential pickup starts around our base rates, larger commercial containers are priced by size and pickup frequency. No hidden fees for labor, transportation, or disposal – the quote you get is what you pay.
We calculate costs based on container type, rental duration, and material weight. Different materials have different processing requirements, so cardboard recycling costs differently than mixed recyclables or electronics disposal. But you know all of this upfront.
For University Gardens businesses, we offer both scheduled service and on-demand pickup. Regular weekly or monthly service costs less per pickup than one-time cleanouts, but we handle both. The goal is making recycling work for your budget, not forcing you into plans that don’t fit.
We provide all containers – from small bins for regular residential pickup to large roll-off containers for major cleanouts. Container sizes include 6-yard, 10-yard, 20-yard, 30-yard, and 40-yard options depending on your project needs.
For University Gardens homes, smaller containers work for regular recycling and small cleanouts. Larger containers are better for moves, renovations, or business cleanouts. We help you choose the right size so you’re not paying for space you don’t need or running out of room halfway through.
All containers come with delivery and pickup included. We drop off clean containers, you fill them with your materials, we handle the rest. For ongoing service, we swap out full containers with empty ones on your schedule.
Clean recyclables go to proper processing facilities where they actually get turned into new products. Materials in good condition get donated to local University Gardens charities and organizations. Electronics go to certified e-waste facilities for safe processing.
This is different from companies that just haul everything to the nearest landfill. We sort materials properly and track where they go. You can get documentation showing your materials were handled responsibly, not just disposed of.
For businesses that need compliance documentation, we provide detailed reports showing material weights, disposal methods, and facility certifications. This matters for companies with sustainability goals or regulatory requirements – you get proof your recycling actually happened.
For standard container delivery, we typically schedule within 2-3 business days. Emergency cleanouts or urgent business needs can often be handled same-day or next-day depending on container availability and scheduling.
University Gardens is part of our regular Nassau County service area, so we’re not coming from far away or treating your location as a special trip. Regular service routes mean consistent timing and lower costs for everyone.
Pickup scheduling is flexible too. We call ahead to confirm timing, work around your schedule for delivery and pickup, and handle changes when your project timeline shifts. The goal is making recycling convenient, not another thing you have to work around.
Yes – we handle everything from residential garage cleanouts to large commercial recycling programs. Homeowners use us for moves, renovations, and regular recycling pickup. Businesses use us for office cleanouts, ongoing cardboard recycling, and document destruction.
The advantage of working with one company for both is consistency. Same quality standards, same local knowledge, same transparent pricing. Whether you need a small bin for home use or multiple large containers for a business location, we handle it the same professional way.
For University Gardens businesses, we understand both the residential community standards and commercial requirements. Your business recycling affects the neighborhood too, so we make sure everything is handled properly and professionally.
