That’s what you get with Millennium Container Service. Your cardboard, paper, and commercial recyclables get collected on schedule by people who know Huntington’s recycling regulations inside and out. We handle the permits, follow Suffolk County guidelines, and make sure your materials actually get recycled instead of contaminating the waste stream.
Your project stays on track. Your compliance stays solid. Your recycling gets done right the first time.
We’ve been Huntington’s go-to recycling and container company since 2000. We’re the family-owned business that contractors and homeowners call when they need reliable service without the runaround.
We know Suffolk County’s recycling requirements because we’ve been navigating them for two decades. We understand Huntington’s dual-stream system, permit requirements, and pickup schedules because this is our community too.
When you work with us, you’re working with people who live here, work here, and care about keeping Long Island clean for the next generation.
First, we discuss your recycling needs and help you choose the right container size for your project. Whether you’re handling a home cleanout or managing commercial waste, we’ll match you with the container that fits your volume and timeline.
Next, we deliver your container on schedule and provide clear guidelines about what materials are acceptable. No guessing games about contamination or compliance issues.
Finally, we pick up your filled container and ensure your recyclables get processed properly through approved facilities. You get confirmation your materials were handled according to Suffolk County standards, not just hauled to the nearest landfill.

Our recycling services cover everything from residential cardboard pickup to large-scale commercial waste management. We handle paper, cardboard, metals, and approved plastics according to Huntington’s dual-stream recycling requirements.
For businesses in Huntington, we provide ongoing commercial recycling with flexible pickup schedules that match your waste generation patterns. Construction contractors get roll-off containers sized for demolition debris and building materials recycling.
Local regulations in Suffolk County require specific permits for container placement, proper separation of materials, and compliance with contamination guidelines. We handle the paperwork, provide the right containers, and ensure your recycling meets all local requirements without you having to become an expert in waste management law.
We accept all materials approved under Huntington’s dual-stream recycling program, including cardboard, paper, newspapers, magazines, metal cans, aluminum containers, and approved plastics. The key is proper separation and cleanliness.
Cardboard must be clean and dry without grease contamination. Paper materials should be loose, not bundled or bagged. Metal containers need to be rinsed clean, and plastics must be rigid containers like bottles and food containers.
We don’t accept hazardous materials, electronics, or heavily contaminated items. If you’re unsure about specific materials, we’ll walk you through Huntington’s current guidelines so your recycling gets processed properly instead of rejected at the facility.
Huntington operates on alternating weekly collection where paper and cardboard get picked up one week, then plastics, metals, and glass the following week. This dual-stream system reduces contamination and improves recycling quality.
For our container customers, we coordinate with this schedule to ensure your materials align with the proper collection stream. If you’re generating mixed recyclables, we can provide separate containers or work with your timeline to maximize recycling efficiency.
Commercial customers often need more frequent service than residential pickup schedules allow. We provide dedicated commercial recycling pickups that work around your business operations, not the town’s residential calendar.
Yes, Suffolk County regulations require permits for dumpsters, compactor units, and roll-off containers used for waste collection. The permit must be clearly visible and include the owner’s name and phone number in letters at least four inches high.
We handle the permit application process as part of our service. The container must be in good condition, leak-free, and properly marked before placement. Permits transfer with container ownership, so if you’re buying or selling property with containers, new permits are required.
Residential recycling using standard bins typically doesn’t require permits, but commercial containers and construction roll-offs always do. We ensure your containers meet all local requirements before delivery to avoid compliance issues or fines.
Contaminated recycling gets rejected at processing facilities and often ends up in landfills instead of being recycled. Common contamination includes plastic bags, food waste, grease-soaked cardboard, and non-recyclable materials mixed with good recyclables.
When recycling gets rejected, you’re still responsible for disposal costs, but you lose the environmental benefit and may face additional fees. That’s why we provide clear guidelines upfront and help you avoid contamination issues.
If contamination happens, we work with you to identify the problem and adjust your sorting process. Sometimes it’s as simple as better employee training or clearer signage. Our goal is getting your materials recycled properly, not just collected and hauled away.
Commercial recycling costs depend on container size, pickup frequency, material types, and service duration. We price services to fit your budget while ensuring proper recycling compliance.
Many businesses find that proper recycling actually reduces their overall waste management costs. Recycling often costs less than trash disposal, and you may qualify for reduced pickup frequency when recyclables are separated from general waste.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees for permits, delivery, or standard service. If your needs change, we adjust service levels accordingly. The goal is cost-effective recycling that works for your business operations and budget constraints.
Absolutely. We serve both residential customers doing home cleanouts and commercial businesses needing ongoing recycling services throughout Huntington and Suffolk County.
Residential projects typically need temporary container rental for specific cleanout or renovation projects. Commercial customers usually need regular, ongoing service with predictable pickup schedules and consistent container sizes.
We coordinate routes efficiently to serve both customer types in the same areas. Whether you’re a homeowner with a basement full of cardboard or a business generating daily recyclables, we provide the right service level without you having to compromise on reliability or cost.
