You know that pile of cardboard in your garage. The mixed recyclables you’re not sure about. The containers you need picked up on schedule, not whenever someone feels like showing up.
Here’s what happens when your recycling actually gets handled right. Your space stays clean. Your materials get processed properly instead of contaminating entire loads. You stop wondering if your waste company will show up on time.
Most importantly, you’re not dealing with the hassle anymore. No more trips to overcrowded drop-off centers. No more guessing what goes where. Just reliable pickup that happens when it’s supposed to happen.
Millennium Container Service is a family-owned business that’s been serving Art Village and Long Island for over 20 years. We’re not the biggest company, but we’re the one that shows up when we say we will.
Our trucks run the same routes. Our drivers know your neighborhood. When you call, you talk to people who actually understand Long Island recycling regulations and what works in Nassau County.
We handle both residential and commercial accounts because good service doesn’t change based on the size of your driveway or your business. You get the same reliability whether you’re a homeowner or running a warehouse.
First, we figure out what size container works for your situation and how often you need pickup. No guessing games or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Next, we deliver your container when we say we will. You fill it with your recyclables – cardboard, paper, metals, plastics – following the guidelines we provide. No complicated sorting systems or confusing rules.
Then we pick it up on schedule. Your materials go to proper recycling facilities where they actually get processed instead of sitting in contaminated loads. We handle the logistics so you don’t have to think about it.
The whole process repeats as often as you need it. Weekly, monthly, or project-based – whatever keeps your space clear and your recycling handled properly.
Ready to get started?
Your recycling service includes container delivery, scheduled pickup, and proper processing of materials. We handle cardboard, mixed paper, metals, and approved plastics according to Nassau County guidelines.
For businesses in Art Village, this means compliance with local recycling requirements without the administrative headache. Your materials get sorted properly, contamination stays low, and you avoid the cost penalties that come with improperly handled recyclables.
Residential customers get the same attention to detail. Your containers are the right size for your needs, pickup happens on your schedule, and you’re not dealing with overflowing bins or missed collections. We also provide clear guidance on what goes where, so you’re not guessing about local recycling rules.
All customers get transparent pricing with no surprise fees. You know what you’re paying upfront, and that price doesn’t change unless your service needs change.
We handle the standard recyclables that Nassau County facilities can process: cardboard, mixed paper, aluminum cans, steel cans, and approved plastic containers. This includes your everyday items like cereal boxes, newspapers, magazines, food cans, and plastic bottles.
What we can’t take are contaminated materials, plastic bags, electronics, or hazardous waste. These items cause problems at recycling facilities and drive up costs for everyone. We provide a clear list of acceptable materials when we start your service, so you know exactly what goes in your container.
If you’re not sure about a specific item, just ask. We’d rather answer questions upfront than deal with contaminated loads later.
Pickup frequency depends on how much recyclable material you generate. Most residential customers need weekly or bi-weekly service. Commercial accounts often need more frequent pickup, sometimes multiple times per week.
We work with your schedule, not against it. If you’re a business that generates more cardboard on certain days, we can adjust pickup timing accordingly. For residential customers, we try to coordinate with your regular trash pickup so you’re not dealing with multiple service days.
The key is consistency. Once we establish your schedule, that’s when pickup happens. No wondering if we’ll show up or having to call to confirm service.
Yes, we serve communities throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island. Art Village is part of our regular service area, but we also handle recycling for customers in surrounding towns and villages.
Our service area has grown over our 20+ years in business, but we’ve kept the same approach: reliable pickup, proper processing, and straightforward pricing. Whether you’re in Art Village or another Long Island community, you get the same level of service.
If you’re not sure whether we serve your specific location, just give us a call. We can usually work something out, especially for commercial accounts or ongoing residential service.
Contamination is a real problem in the recycling industry. When non-recyclable items get mixed in, they can ruin entire loads and drive up processing costs significantly. That’s why we’re upfront about what can and can’t go in your container.
If we find minor contamination, we’ll remove the problem items and let you know what happened. For major contamination issues, we might need to treat the load as regular waste, which means additional fees. Nobody wants that, so we provide clear guidelines from the start.
The best approach is prevention. We give you a list of acceptable materials and answer questions before problems develop. Most contamination happens because people aren’t sure about specific items, not because they’re trying to cause problems.
Our pricing is straightforward and competitive. You pay for container size, pickup frequency, and any additional services you need. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no complicated billing structures.
What makes our service valuable isn’t just the price – it’s the reliability. When your recycling gets picked up on schedule and processed properly, you avoid the costs and hassles that come with unreliable service. That includes contamination fees, missed pickups, and having to find alternative disposal methods.
We provide written estimates upfront so you know exactly what you’re paying. If your needs change, we adjust the service and pricing accordingly. No long-term contracts that lock you into services you don’t need.
Yes, we work with businesses of all sizes, from small retail shops to large industrial facilities. Commercial recycling often involves larger volumes, more frequent pickup, and specific compliance requirements, which we handle regularly.
For bigger projects like office cleanouts, retail renovations, or warehouse relocations, we can provide temporary container service with flexible pickup schedules. We understand that commercial projects don’t always follow predictable timelines, so we work with your project schedule rather than forcing you into our standard service windows.
The key is planning ahead. Give us a call when you know a project is coming up, and we can coordinate container delivery, pickup timing, and proper processing of your recyclable materials. This prevents last-minute scrambling and ensures your project stays on track.
