You know that pile of cardboard taking over your garage. The recycling that’s been sitting there for weeks because you can’t figure out Nassau County’s constantly changing rules. The containers you need but don’t know where to get them.
Here’s what happens when you call us instead of trying to handle it yourself. Your recyclables get sorted properly the first time. No rejected loads because someone didn’t know pizza boxes with grease can’t go in the bin. No scrambling to find containers that actually fit your space.
You get your property back without the headache. We handle the regulations, the scheduling, the pickup. You handle everything else that matters to your business or family.
We’ve been handling recycling and container services in Plainview and Nassau County since 2000. That’s over two decades of figuring out what works and what doesn’t when it comes to getting your recyclables where they need to go.
We’re not the company that shows up late or gives you attitude when you call. We’re the family-owned business that built our reputation on doing what we say we’ll do, when we say we’ll do it. Fully licensed and insured because that’s how you run a real business.
Most of our customers have been with us for years. That doesn’t happen by accident in this industry.
First, we talk about what you need. Not what we want to sell you – what actually makes sense for your situation. Cardboard recycling for your business, mixed recyclables for your home, or containers for a cleanout project.
Next, we deliver the right container to your location. We’ve got sizes from 6 yards to 30 yards because one size definitely doesn’t fit all. We drop it where you want it, when you want it.
You fill it up according to Nassau County guidelines – which we’ll explain clearly so there are no surprises. Clean materials, properly sorted, no plastic bags gumming up the works.
When you’re ready, we pick it up and handle proper disposal. Your recyclables go where they’re supposed to go, processed the right way. You get a clean site and the peace of mind that comes with working with professionals.

Nassau County has specific rules about what can and can’t go in your recycling container. Glass bottles and jars, #1 and #2 plastics, aluminum and tin cans, clean paper, and flattened cardboard all make the cut. Everything needs to be clean and dry – no food waste, no grease, no contamination.
Here’s what trips people up: pizza boxes with food or grease can’t be recycled. Plastic bags jam up the sorting equipment and won’t be collected. Items need to be loose in the container, not bagged up.
The environmental impact matters too. Every ton of paper we help recycle saves 17 trees, 700 gallons of water, and 3 cubic yards of landfill space. When you do recycling right in Plainview, you’re not just clearing your space – you’re contributing to something bigger.
We know these rules inside and out because we’ve been working with them for twenty years. When regulations change, we stay on top of it so you don’t have to.
The size depends on what you’re recycling and how much space you have. For small residential cleanouts or regular cardboard recycling, our 6-yard container works well – it’s 11 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 2 feet high.
Most home renovation projects or medium business needs fit our 15-yard container perfectly. If you’re doing a major cleanout or have ongoing commercial recycling needs, the 20 or 30-yard containers give you the space without constant pickups. We’ll talk through your specific situation and recommend the right size so you’re not paying for space you don’t need or running out of room halfway through your project.
Yes, we handle both. For residential customers, we provide containers for home cleanouts, renovation debris, and regular recycling needs. You get the same professional service whether it’s a garage cleanout or ongoing household recycling.
For commercial customers, we understand that businesses have different requirements. Restaurants need grease-free cardboard recycling. Offices generate consistent paper waste. Retail locations have packaging materials that need proper handling. We work with your schedule and your space constraints because we know disrupting your business isn’t an option.
The process is the same – professional containers, clear guidelines, reliable pickup. The difference is we adapt to what your business actually needs instead of trying to fit you into a one-size-fits-all approach.
This is exactly why experience matters. When recyclables get rejected, it’s usually because of contamination – food waste on containers, wrong materials mixed in, or items that aren’t actually recyclable in Nassau County.
We prevent rejections by explaining the guidelines clearly upfront. Clean containers, proper sorting, no plastic bags, no contaminated materials. We’ve been working with Nassau County regulations for over twenty years, so we know what causes problems before they happen.
If something does get rejected despite following guidelines, we handle the re-sorting and re-processing. You don’t get stuck with a container full of materials that can’t go anywhere. That’s part of working with a professional service instead of trying to navigate the system yourself.
We typically deliver containers within 24-48 hours of your call, often same-day if you contact us early enough. We keep containers in stock specifically for Nassau County customers because we know projects don’t always wait for convenient timing.
For scheduled pickups, we work around your timeline. If you’re doing a renovation and need the container on a specific day, we coordinate that. If your business has regular recycling needs, we set up a schedule that works with your operations.
The key is calling us as soon as you know you’ll need service. Last-minute requests usually work out fine, but giving us a heads up means we can guarantee the timing and container size you need.
Our pricing includes container delivery, pickup, and proper disposal at approved recycling facilities. No hidden fees for fuel, environmental charges, or other add-ons that some companies tack on later. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Container rental periods are flexible based on your project needs. Most residential customers need containers for 3-7 days. Commercial customers often need longer terms or regular service schedules. We work with your timeline, not against it.
If you need the container longer than originally planned, we handle extensions without penalty fees. If your project finishes early, we pick up early. The goal is making your recycling project work smoothly, not maximizing rental days.
Yes, we serve all of Nassau County, including Plainview, Hicksville, Bethpage, Farmingdale, and surrounding areas. We’ve been working throughout Nassau County for over twenty years, so we know the local regulations and logistics for each area.
Some recycling companies only serve certain zip codes or charge extra for “outside” areas. We don’t work that way. Nassau County is our service area, period. Whether you’re in central Plainview or on the border with Suffolk County, you get the same professional service and transparent pricing.
Distance might affect delivery timing slightly – a Plainview delivery might happen morning while a farther location gets afternoon service. But the service quality and pricing remain consistent throughout our coverage area.
