You know the drill. Overflowing bins, missed pickups, confusion about what goes where. Suffolk County’s dual-stream system means paper and cardboard get collected separately from plastics and metals – but only if your service provider actually knows what they’re doing.
When your recycling works right, your workspace stays clean and organized. No more scrambling when inspectors show up. No more explaining to employees why the bins are overflowing again. Just reliable pickup, proper sorting, and the peace of mind that comes from working with people who’ve been doing this for over 20 years.
We’ve been handling recycling and container service in East Northport, NY since 2000. We’re not some faceless national company that bought out the local guy last year.
Our owners graduated from Hofstra and C.W. Post – they know Long Island because they grew up here. When you call, you’re talking to people who understand Suffolk County’s recycling requirements because we’ve been navigating them for two decades. We’ve seen businesses grow, regulations change, and we’ve adapted our services to keep our customers compliant and costs reasonable.
First, we figure out what you actually need. Not what some pricing chart says you need – what your business generates and how often you need pickup. We’ll recommend container sizes from our 6-yard to 30-yard options based on your actual volume.
We deliver your containers exactly where you want them, when you want them. Our drivers know East Northport streets and can navigate tight spaces that leave other companies making excuses. When it’s time for pickup, we show up on schedule – even early morning if that works better for your business.
Your recyclables get sorted properly according to Suffolk County’s dual-stream requirements. Paper and cardboard go to appropriate facilities, plastics and metals get processed separately. You get documentation that proves proper disposal for your records.

Your recycling service includes containers sized right for your needs, scheduled pickup that actually happens, and proper sorting that meets Suffolk County requirements. We handle cardboard, paper, plastics numbered 1-5, aluminum cans, and steel cans.
Here in East Northport, we see a lot of retail and restaurant businesses struggling with cardboard volume. Delivery boxes pile up fast, especially during busy seasons. Our larger containers handle those spikes without you having to call for emergency pickup or stuff cardboard into regular trash.
We also work with construction and renovation projects where debris recycling matters for permits and environmental compliance. Drywall, wood, metal – we know which materials can be diverted from landfills and which facilities accept them in Suffolk County.
We handle the full range of recyclables accepted in Suffolk County’s dual-stream system. Paper and cardboard go in one stream – this includes office paper, newspapers, magazines, junk mail, and corrugated cardboard boxes. The second stream takes plastics numbered 1-5 (check the bottom of containers), aluminum cans, steel cans, and metal food containers.
What we can’t take: plastic bags, styrofoam, glass (Suffolk County doesn’t include glass in curbside recycling), hazardous materials like paint or chemicals, and electronics. If you’re not sure about specific items, call us. We know the local rules and can tell you exactly where different materials need to go.
Container sizing depends on how much recyclable material you generate and how often you want pickup. A 6-yard container works for small offices or retail spaces with moderate cardboard volume. Most restaurants and larger retail operations need 10-20 yard containers to handle packaging and food service materials.
For construction projects or major cleanouts, 30-yard containers make sense because you’re dealing with large volumes over a shorter time period. We can also provide multiple smaller containers if your space doesn’t allow for one large unit. The key is matching container size to your actual volume so you’re not paying for space you don’t use or dealing with overflow between pickups.
Yes, and our customers will tell you that’s what separates us from larger companies. We’ve been serving East Northport for over 20 years because we do what we say we’ll do. If we schedule pickup for Tuesday morning, we’re there Tuesday morning – not Wednesday afternoon with an excuse about route changes.
We can even accommodate specific timing requests. Some of our customers need early morning pickup before their businesses open, others prefer end-of-day service. Because we’re local and our routes are concentrated in Suffolk County, we have flexibility that national companies simply can’t match. When you call to schedule or change service, you’re talking to people who actually know your account and your location.
Call us and we’ll handle it. Seasonal businesses, special projects, and unexpected volume spikes happen. We can provide temporary additional containers, schedule extra pickups, or help you figure out a better long-term solution if your needs have permanently changed.
This is especially common with retail businesses during holiday seasons or restaurants during summer months in Suffolk County. Rather than cramming extra material into regular trash (which costs more and isn’t environmentally responsible), we can adjust your service level temporarily. Because we’re local, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day requests that larger companies would take weeks to process.
Recycling service often costs less than regular trash pickup because recyclable materials have value – they’re commodities, not waste. When markets are good, that value gets passed back to customers through lower service fees. Even when markets are down, recycling typically costs less than landfill disposal.
The bigger savings come from reducing your regular trash volume. Every pound of material that goes into recycling containers doesn’t go into your regular dumpster, which means you might be able to downsize your trash service or reduce pickup frequency. We can analyze your current waste stream and show you exactly where recycling service saves money on your total waste management costs.
Absolutely. Suffolk County requires all waste and recycling companies to carry valid licenses and insurance, and we maintain both. Our insurance covers property damage, liability, and worker compensation. Our licensing confirms we know how to handle recyclable materials properly and dispose of them at approved facilities.
We can provide proof of insurance and licensing for your records – many commercial customers need this documentation for their files or to satisfy property management requirements. Being properly licensed also means we stay current on Suffolk County recycling regulations and facility requirements, so your materials get handled in compliance with local and state environmental rules.
