Your renovation debris gets sorted correctly the first time. Your cardboard and materials reach actual recycling facilities instead of landfills. Your project stays on schedule because pickup happens when promised.
No more dealing with contaminated loads that get rejected. No more scrambling to find last-minute pickup when your regular service fails. Your materials get processed properly, your timeline stays intact, and you’re not stuck with a mess that should’ve been gone days ago.
We’ve been handling recycling and waste management in Nassau County since 2000. We know North Valley Stream’s alternating recycling schedule, understand local regulations, and have the equipment to handle everything from small residential cleanouts to large commercial projects.
We’re not some national company trying to figure out Long Island. We’re fully licensed, insured, and have built our reputation on showing up when we say we will. Local contractors and homeowners rely on us because we understand that your project timeline matters more than our convenience.
You call with your project details and timeline. We recommend the right container size based on your specific materials – cardboard, construction debris, or mixed recyclables. The container arrives on schedule, positioned exactly where you need it.
During pickup, your materials get transported to proper recycling facilities, not just dumped somewhere convenient. We handle the sorting and processing requirements so your cardboard actually becomes new cardboard, and your construction materials get properly recycled according to Nassau County standards.
No guesswork about what goes where. No surprise rejections because something wasn’t sorted correctly. Just straightforward recycling that works the way it should.

Container sizes from 6 to 30 yards, so you’re not paying for space you don’t need or cramming materials into something too small. Delivery and pickup scheduled around your timeline, including early morning service when your project demands it. Proper sorting and processing so your recyclables actually get recycled.
North Valley Stream operates on an alternating weekly recycling schedule – one week for plastics, metals, and glass, the next for paper and cardboard. Most residential projects generate more recyclable material than curbside pickup can handle, especially during renovations or cleanouts. That’s where container service makes sense.
We work with local facilities that understand Nassau County requirements. Your materials get processed correctly, your project site stays clean, and you’re not dealing with the headache of multiple trips to recycling centers or wondering if your contractor’s disposal method is actually environmentally responsible.
Clean cardboard, paper, plastics numbered 1 and 2, metal cans, and glass bottles are accepted. Construction materials like clean wood, metal, and concrete can be recycled separately. The key is keeping materials clean and separated properly.
Valley Stream’s municipal recycling follows specific guidelines, but container service gives you more flexibility for larger volumes. Materials need to be free of food contamination and sorted correctly. Mixed loads often get rejected, which is why proper sorting matters from the start.
Curbside recycling in North Valley Stream follows an alternating weekly schedule with 32-gallon limits. Container service handles much larger volumes on your timeline, not the village schedule. You get dedicated pickup for your project without waiting for the next recycling week.
Container service also handles materials that curbside won’t accept, like construction debris and large amounts of cardboard from moving or renovations. The materials go directly to processing facilities instead of being mixed with regular municipal collection, which reduces contamination and improves recycling rates.
A 10-yard container handles most residential cleanouts and small renovations. Kitchen or bathroom remodels usually need 15-20 yards. Large construction projects or whole-house cleanouts require 30-yard containers. The type of materials matters as much as volume.
Cardboard and paper are light but bulky, so you might need a larger container than expected. Construction debris is heavy but compact. Mixed recyclables fall somewhere between. Getting the right size prevents overages and ensures pickup goes smoothly without weight restrictions causing problems.
Standard rental periods run 7-10 days, which covers most residential projects. Construction jobs can arrange longer terms. Extensions are available if your project runs over schedule. The goal is matching the rental period to your actual timeline, not forcing your project into arbitrary limits.
North Valley Stream has specific regulations about container placement on residential properties. Containers need to stay on your property, not block sidewalks or streets. Proper placement prevents issues with local authorities and ensures pickup trucks can access the container safely.
Materials go to local processing facilities where they’re sorted, cleaned, and prepared for manufacturing into new products. Cardboard becomes new packaging materials, metals get melted down and reused, and plastics are processed into new plastic products. Proper recycling keeps these materials out of landfills.
The key is starting with clean, properly sorted materials. Contaminated loads often get rejected and end up in landfills anyway. That’s why proper sorting and clean materials matter – they ensure your recycling efforts actually result in environmental benefits rather than just feeling good about trying.
Pricing depends on container size, rental duration, and material type. Recycling containers often cost less than regular waste containers because recyclable materials have value. Clean, properly sorted materials may qualify for reduced rates compared to mixed waste.
The real value comes from avoiding multiple trips to recycling centers, staying compliant with local regulations, and keeping your project on schedule. Hidden fees and surprise charges are common with some companies, so getting clear pricing upfront prevents budget surprises later.
