You call, we show up on time, and your recyclables actually get recycled. No more wondering if that cardboard box is ending up in a landfill anyway.
When recycling works right, you’re not sorting through conflicting municipal rules or dealing with contaminated loads getting rejected. Your materials go where they’re supposed to go, when they’re supposed to get there. You save money on disposal costs and know you’re doing something meaningful for Long Island’s landfill crisis.
The result? Less waste heading to our already-strained local facilities, lower costs for your business or home, and recycling that actually makes a difference instead of just making you feel better.
We’re Millennium Container Service Inc., and we’ve been handling recycling services in Mastic and throughout Suffolk County for over 25 years. We’re the family-owned company that actually shows up when we say we will.
While Long Island deals with its landfill capacity crisis and municipalities struggle with contaminated recycling loads, we focus on getting it right the first time. We understand the local rules that change from town to town, and we have the relationships with recycling centers that actually process materials properly.
Being local means we get the unique challenges Suffolk County faces – from the Brookhaven Landfill closure to the confusing patchwork of recycling regulations across different municipalities.
You contact us with what you need recycled – whether it’s regular pickup service, cardboard removal, or a one-time cleanout. We’ll tell you exactly what we can take and how we’ll handle it.
We deliver the right container for your needs, whether that’s ongoing commercial service or a temporary solution for a project. No guessing about sizes or wondering if we’ll actually show up on schedule.
When it’s time for pickup, we’re there when promised – often early if you need it. Your materials go directly to our partner recycling facilities, not into the general waste stream. You get confirmation of proper disposal, and we handle all the logistics so you don’t have to think about it again.

We handle the recyclables that actually matter for Suffolk County businesses and residents. Cardboard recycling is a big part of what we do – from small residential loads to major commercial volumes from retail and warehouse operations.
Metal recycling, paper products, and other materials that can genuinely be processed locally. We’re upfront about what works and what doesn’t, because with Long Island’s recycling contamination running over 25%, honest sorting makes the difference.
For Mastic specifically, we understand the municipal requirements and work with the local waste stream. Whether you’re dealing with seasonal volume spikes from summer residents or year-round commercial needs, we adjust our service to match what actually happens in this area.
We handle cardboard, paper, metals, and specific plastics that actually get processed by local recycling facilities. The key word is “actually” – we don’t take materials that end up contaminating loads or getting sent to landfills anyway.
Cardboard is our biggest volume item and what we do best. Clean, dry cardboard from businesses, moving boxes, delivery packaging – that all gets properly recycled. For metals, we work with scrap processors who turn it into new materials.
What we won’t take are items that create contamination issues, like greasy pizza boxes, mixed plastic films, or materials that Suffolk County facilities can’t actually process. We’d rather be honest upfront than promise recycling that doesn’t happen.
We stay current on the municipal requirements for each area we serve, including Mastic’s specific regulations. Suffolk County’s recycling rules do vary by municipality, which creates the confusion most residents and businesses face.
Our job is knowing which materials are accepted where, and we handle the sorting and delivery accordingly. When Babylon accepts different plastics than Oyster Bay, we make sure your materials go to the right processing facility for your location.
This is especially important for businesses operating in multiple townships. Instead of you trying to track different rules for different locations, we handle the compliance piece so your materials get processed correctly regardless of municipal boundaries.
Municipal programs work fine for basic residential needs, but they have limitations. Contamination rates are high, pickup schedules are rigid, and there’s no guarantee your materials actually get recycled versus just collected.
We provide more reliable scheduling, handle larger volumes, and have direct relationships with processing facilities. For businesses especially, we can customize pickup frequency and container sizes to match your actual needs instead of forcing you into a one-size-fits-all municipal program.
Plus, with Long Island’s landfill capacity crisis, having a recycling partner who actually gets materials to processing facilities instead of overflow landfills becomes more important every year. We track where materials go, not just where they get picked up.
We serve Mastic and throughout Suffolk County for both residential and commercial recycling services. Our residential service works well for larger households, seasonal cleanouts, or anyone who generates more recyclables than municipal pickup handles.
For commercial accounts, we serve retail stores, restaurants, warehouses, construction sites, and office buildings. We can provide ongoing service contracts or one-time pickups depending on what makes sense for your business.
The advantage of working with a local company is we understand Suffolk County’s specific challenges – from seasonal population changes to the local waste processing infrastructure. We adjust our service to match what actually works in this area rather than trying to apply a generic approach.
We work directly with certified recycling facilities and can provide documentation of where materials go. This matters because contaminated loads often get rejected and sent to landfills, even when they start in recycling programs.
Our sorting process happens before pickup, not after. We inspect materials and only take what we know will be accepted by processing facilities. This prevents the contamination issues that cause over 25% of Suffolk County’s recycling to end up in landfills anyway.
For commercial clients especially, we provide tracking and reporting so you know your sustainability efforts are actually working. With environmental regulations tightening and corporate sustainability requirements increasing, having verifiable recycling becomes more important for business compliance and reporting.
Our pricing is straightforward and competitive with other local services, but we focus on value rather than being the cheapest option. When recycling actually works, it often costs less than disposal in the long run.
We provide upfront quotes with no hidden fees or surprise charges. For ongoing commercial service, we can often reduce your total waste management costs by diverting materials from expensive disposal to more efficient recycling streams.
The real value comes from reliable service that actually accomplishes what you’re paying for. When other services promise recycling but deliver contaminated loads to landfills, you’re not getting what you paid for. We’d rather charge fairly for service that works than undercut competitors who can’t deliver on their promises.
