You’re not just getting rid of cardboard and containers. You’re keeping recyclables out of landfills that could contaminate Long Island’s drinking water. Every properly recycled load means cleaner groundwater for your neighbors and a healthier environment for your kids.
When materials get sorted correctly the first time, they actually make it to recycling facilities instead of getting rejected for contamination. That’s the difference between recycling that works and recycling that just makes you feel better about throwing things away.
Your business runs smoother when waste management isn’t a headache. Reliable pickup schedules mean you’re not dealing with overflowing containers or wondering if someone’s going to show up.
We’ve been handling recycling in San Remo and throughout Suffolk County for over 20 years. We’re not some corporate outfit trying to figure out Long Island’s recycling landscape. We’ve been here through every regulation change, from single-stream to dual-stream requirements.
Being family-owned means when you call, you’re talking to people who actually care about getting it right. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve built relationships with recycling centers across Suffolk County so your materials end up where they belong.
San Remo residents and businesses count on us because we understand the local challenges. From Brookhaven’s landfill closure to changing contamination standards, we stay ahead of what’s coming so you don’t have to worry about it.
First, we assess what you need recycled and provide transparent pricing upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees. We schedule pickup times that work for your schedule, whether you’re a homeowner with cardboard from a renovation or a business with regular container needs.
Our team arrives on time with the right equipment. We handle the heavy lifting and make sure materials are properly sorted according to current Suffolk County requirements. Clean cardboard goes to paper recycling facilities, metals to scrap processors, and everything gets handled according to environmental regulations.
After pickup, materials go directly to our network of recycling partners throughout Long Island. We’ve spent two decades building these relationships, which means your recyclables actually get processed instead of ending up in landfills. You get confirmation that the job’s done right, and Long Island’s environment stays protected.

Cardboard recycling is our specialty, from small residential cleanouts to large commercial volumes. We handle corrugated cardboard, shipping boxes, and packaging materials. Clean, dry cardboard gets processed properly. Contaminated materials get disposed of responsibly so they don’t ruin entire recycling loads.
Metal containers, plastic containers, and mixed recyclables all get sorted according to Suffolk County’s current dual-stream requirements. We stay updated on what facilities accept so your materials don’t get rejected for contamination or improper sorting.
San Remo businesses appreciate our container services for ongoing recycling needs. Regular pickups keep your operation running smoothly without overflowing bins or missed collections. We work with your schedule, not against it, because we understand that recycling shouldn’t disrupt your business.
We handle clean, dry corrugated cardboard including shipping boxes, packaging materials, and moving boxes. The cardboard needs to be free from food contamination, grease, or excessive tape and staples. Waxed cardboard and pizza boxes with grease can’t be recycled and need to go with regular trash.
We’ll sort materials on-site so you don’t have to worry about whether something qualifies. Our team knows current Suffolk County recycling standards and which facilities accept different materials. If something can’t be recycled, we’ll handle proper disposal so it doesn’t contaminate other recyclables.
Suffolk County switched to dual-stream recycling, which means paper and cardboard get separated from metals and plastics. This reduces contamination that was causing entire loads to get rejected by processing facilities. We handle the sorting so you don’t have to figure out which bin everything goes in.
Paper and cardboard go to paper recycling facilities on specific collection days. Metals and plastics go to different processors on alternating schedules. We coordinate with local requirements so your materials get collected on the right days and go to the right places.
Glass is no longer collected curbside in most Suffolk County areas due to contamination issues. We can advise you on proper glass disposal or direct you to bottle return locations at grocery stores.
Yes, we provide various container sizes for businesses with regular recycling needs. Options include small bins for office paper and cardboard, larger containers for retail packaging, and roll-off containers for construction or renovation projects. Container size depends on your volume and space constraints.
Regular pickup schedules keep containers from overflowing and ensure materials stay clean and recyclable. We work with your business hours and access requirements. If you need more frequent pickups during busy periods or special handling for large cleanouts, we adjust service accordingly.
All containers are clearly marked for proper sorting, and our team provides guidance on what materials go where according to current regulations.
Materials go directly to our network of processing facilities throughout Suffolk County and Long Island. We’ve built relationships with paper mills, scrap metal processors, and plastic recyclers over 20 years in business. This means your recyclables actually get turned into new products instead of sitting in warehouses or getting shipped overseas.
Cardboard goes to paper mills where it becomes new cardboard and packaging materials. Clean metals get processed by scrap recyclers and turned into new steel and aluminum products. We track materials through the recycling chain to ensure proper processing.
Contaminated materials that can’t be recycled get disposed of responsibly at appropriate facilities. We don’t mix unusable materials with good recyclables because that ruins entire loads and defeats the purpose of recycling.
Pricing depends on material type, volume, and pickup frequency. One-time cleanouts are priced differently than regular commercial service. We provide upfront estimates with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Recycling costs are typically lower than regular trash disposal because recyclable materials have value.
For businesses, regular recycling service often pays for itself through reduced trash hauling costs. Large volumes of clean cardboard and metals can sometimes generate revenue rather than cost money. We’ll evaluate your materials and provide honest assessment of costs and potential savings.
Residential recycling pickup is priced competitively with other waste services in Suffolk County. We focus on value rather than being the cheapest option because proper recycling requires experienced handling and reliable service.
Long Island depends entirely on underground aquifers for drinking water. Improper disposal of materials can contaminate this water supply, which affects everyone. Landfills are filling up and the last municipal landfill at Brookhaven closes in 2024, creating a waste crisis for the entire island.
Proper recycling keeps materials out of landfills and reduces the need to transport waste off-island. When recyclables get processed correctly, they become new products instead of taking up space in disposal facilities. This protects the environment and reduces costs for everyone.
Suffolk County’s recycling requirements exist for good reasons. Following proper procedures ensures materials actually get recycled instead of contaminating entire loads. We handle compliance so you contribute to environmental protection without having to become an expert in waste management regulations.
