When your recycling is handled properly, you’re not just checking a box – you’re making a real impact. Every ton of paper we process saves 17 trees, 700 gallons of water, and reduces air pollution by 60 pounds.
That’s what happens when contamination stays out and proper sorting stays in. Your cardboard, paper, and other recyclables get processed at full value instead of ending up in landfills because someone cut corners.
You get the environmental benefits you’re paying for, plus the peace of mind that comes from working with people who know what they’re doing.
We’ve been serving Greenlawn and Suffolk County for over two decades. We’re family-owned, fully licensed, and insured – because that’s what Suffolk County requires and what you deserve.
We’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will and handling your materials the way they should be handled. No surprises, no excuses, no cutting corners.
Our customers keep coming back because we do what we promise. Simple as that.
First, we assess your recycling needs and provide the right-sized container for your location. Whether you’re a business with daily cardboard or a homeowner with weekly recyclables, we match the service to your actual requirements.
Next, we collect on schedule – no missed pickups, no early morning surprises. Our drivers know Greenlawn’s streets and your property access needs.
Finally, we sort and process your materials properly. Paper goes to paper mills, cardboard to packaging manufacturers, and other materials to their appropriate facilities. You get documentation when needed, and the environment gets the benefit of materials that actually get recycled instead of contaminated and wasted.

We accept paper, cardboard, glass, plastic containers, aluminum cans, and other standard recyclables. Everything gets sorted according to Suffolk County requirements and industry standards.
For Greenlawn businesses, we handle the mandatory commercial recycling requirements – including the paper and cardboard recycling that New York law requires. We provide the documentation you need and ensure compliance with local regulations.
Residential customers get the same professional service. We understand that Suffolk County residents have options, and we’ve earned our reputation by being the option that actually works. Clean collection, proper processing, and reliable service that keeps your neighborhood looking good.
We handle all standard recyclables including paper, corrugated cardboard, magazines, catalogs, newspapers, glass bottles and jars, plastic containers, and aluminum cans. For businesses, we also manage the mandatory commercial recycling requirements under New York State law.
The key is proper sorting and contamination prevention. We make sure materials are clean and separated correctly so they actually get processed instead of rejected. Food-contaminated cardboard, for example, can’t be recycled – but we’ll help you understand what can and can’t go in your recycling stream.
If you have questions about specific materials, we can walk you through what works and what doesn’t. It’s better to ask upfront than have a load rejected because something shouldn’t have been included.
Pickup frequency depends on your needs and the type of service. Commercial customers typically need weekly or bi-weekly service, especially for cardboard-heavy businesses. Residential customers often work well with bi-weekly or monthly pickups.
We’re flexible because your recycling volume isn’t the same every week. Retail businesses might need more frequent service during busy seasons, while offices might have consistent weekly volumes.
The important thing is that we show up when scheduled. Our customers in Greenlawn know they can count on us to be there on time, whether it’s early morning pickup for businesses or residential collection during regular hours. No missed pickups, no rescheduling hassles.
Yes, we provide appropriately sized containers based on your recycling volume and space constraints. For businesses, this might be larger bins or compactors. For residential customers, we can provide standard recycling containers.
Container size matters more than you might think. Too small and you’re overflowing, which creates contamination problems. Too large and you’re paying for space you don’t need. We match the container to your actual usage patterns.
We also provide replacement containers when needed and can adjust container size if your recycling volume changes. The goal is to make recycling as straightforward as possible while ensuring everything gets processed properly.
Absolutely. We’re fully licensed and insured as required by Suffolk County regulations. This isn’t optional – Suffolk County requires garbage and recycling companies to carry valid licenses and insurance to operate legally.
We can provide proof of licensing and insurance coverage because legitimate companies should be able to do that immediately. If a recycling company can’t show you current licensing and insurance documentation, that’s a red flag.
Our licensing confirms we know how to handle recyclables properly, and our insurance protects you from liability if something unexpected happens during collection. It’s basic professional responsibility, but not every company takes it seriously.
Materials get sorted and sent to appropriate processing facilities. Paper goes to mills that turn it back into paper products, cardboard goes to packaging manufacturers, and other materials go to facilities that can actually use them.
The key word is “actually.” A lot of recyclables end up in landfills because they’re contaminated or improperly sorted. We prevent that by handling materials correctly from collection through processing.
You’re not just moving materials from your property to somewhere else – you’re participating in a system that turns waste into useful products. But that only works when the materials are handled properly. That’s what you’re paying us to ensure.
Our rates reflect the level of service we provide – professional collection, proper processing, and reliable scheduling. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s actually good news for you.
Companies that compete purely on price often cut corners somewhere. That might mean missed pickups, contaminated loads that end up in landfills, or service that disappears when you need it most.
We price our services to deliver consistent results. You get reliable pickup, proper material handling, and the peace of mind that comes from working with a company that’s been serving Suffolk County for over 20 years. The value is in getting what you pay for.
