You’ve got enough on your plate without figuring out where every piece of cardboard and scrap metal needs to go. When you work with us, your recycling gets handled the right way while you focus on what matters.
Your worksite stays clean and organized. Your materials get sorted properly and sent where they belong – not just wherever’s convenient. And you get back to your project knowing you did right by Centerport and the environment.
No more stuffing cardboard into regular trash bags or making weekend trips across town. No more wondering if you’re following the rules or helping the planet. Just professional recycling that works around your schedule, not the other way around.
We’ve been helping Centerport residents and businesses handle their recycling properly for over two decades. We’re not some big corporate outfit – we’re your neighbors, and we know this area.
We’ve watched Centerport grow and change, and we’ve seen how much waste gets generated from all the home improvements, business expansions, and construction projects happening around here. That’s exactly why we focus on making recycling as straightforward as possible.
When you call us, you’re getting people who understand Suffolk County regulations, know the local recycling facilities, and have the right equipment to handle jobs of any size. We’re licensed, insured, and committed to keeping Long Island clean for the next generation.
You call us and tell us what you’re dealing with – cardboard from a move, construction debris, or ongoing commercial recycling needs. We’ll recommend the right container size and schedule a delivery that works for your timeline.
We drop off a clean container exactly where you need it. You fill it with your recyclable materials – we’ll walk you through what goes where if you need guidance. No sorting headaches or guessing games.
When you’re ready, we pick everything up and make sure it gets to the right recycling facilities. Your cardboard goes to paper mills, metals get processed properly, and everything that can be reused gets a second life. You get a clean site and the peace of mind that comes from doing business with people who care about doing things right.

We handle cardboard recycling, metal recycling, and mixed recyclables from residential and commercial projects. Whether you’re cleaning out a garage, renovating an office, or managing ongoing business waste, we have containers from 6 yards up to 30 yards.
Centerport generates a lot of cardboard waste – from all the online shopping deliveries to business packaging and moving boxes. We make sure that cardboard gets to facilities where it becomes new packaging instead of sitting in landfills. Same goes for metals, plastics, and other materials that have value when handled correctly.
We also work with local businesses that need regular recycling pickup. With new regulations requiring companies to separate recyclables from regular waste, having a reliable local partner who knows the requirements can save you headaches and potential fines. We handle the logistics so you can focus on running your business.
We handle cardboard, paper, metals (both ferrous and non-ferrous), plastics, and electronics recycling. Cardboard is our biggest category – everything from moving boxes to business packaging gets processed at paper mills where it becomes new products.
For metals, we take construction debris, old appliances, scrap steel, aluminum, and copper. Electronics need special handling because of environmental regulations, so we make sure they get to certified e-waste facilities rather than regular landfills.
If you’re not sure about specific materials, just ask when you call. We’d rather spend a few minutes explaining what goes where than have you guess and potentially contaminate a whole container load.
It depends on your project type and timeline. A 10-yard container works well for most home cleanouts or small renovation projects. If you’re doing a full office cleanout or have a lot of cardboard from a business move, you’ll probably want a 20 or 30-yard container.
We’ve been doing this for over 20 years in Centerport, so we can usually estimate pretty accurately based on your project description. A kitchen renovation generates different amounts than a garage cleanout or retail store closure.
When in doubt, it’s often better to go slightly larger – you don’t want to run out of space halfway through your project and have to wait for another container. We can walk you through the decision when you call.
Yes, we work with local businesses that need ongoing recycling pickup. With new state regulations requiring businesses with 10 or more employees to separate recyclables from regular waste, many Centerport companies are setting up regular service.
We can provide containers that stay on-site and get emptied on a schedule that works for your business. Some clients need weekly pickup, others prefer bi-weekly or monthly depending on their volume.
For businesses generating a lot of cardboard – like retail stores or distribution centers – we can provide larger containers or more frequent service. The key is matching the service to your actual needs rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all program.
Recycling often costs less than regular trash disposal because recyclable materials have value. Cardboard, metals, and other materials can be sold to processing facilities, which helps offset collection and transportation costs.
The exact pricing depends on container size, how long you need it, and what materials you’re recycling. We provide upfront pricing so you know what to expect – no surprises when we come to pick up.
Many of our commercial clients find that separating recyclables actually reduces their overall waste management costs because they need less frequent regular trash pickup. Plus, you avoid potential fines for not complying with recycling regulations.
Your materials go to certified recycling facilities where they get processed into new products. Cardboard goes to paper mills and becomes new packaging or paper products. Metals get melted down and turned into new steel, aluminum products, or other manufactured goods.
We work with facilities that meet environmental standards and can provide documentation if your business needs it for sustainability reporting. Everything gets tracked from pickup to final processing.
We don’t just dump everything at the cheapest facility we can find. We’ve built relationships with processors who do the job right, even if it costs us a bit more. That’s how we make sure your recycling efforts actually make a difference.
Absolutely. We handle everything from single-container rentals for home projects to regular commercial pickups for businesses. Some clients call us once a year for spring cleaning, others need weekly service.
For one-time projects, we deliver a container, you fill it at your pace, and we pick it up when you’re ready. For ongoing service, we work out a schedule that matches your needs – whether that’s weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly pickup.
Many clients start with a one-time cleanout and then realize they want regular service. We can easily transition you from project-based to ongoing service without any hassle or new paperwork.
