What's Included in Real Recycling Service

Your recycling gets sorted properly before it leaves your property. We separate materials that can actually be recycled from contaminated items that need different handling.

Port Jefferson businesses get compliance documentation showing your waste was handled according to New York State regulations. This matters when environmental audits happen or when you need to prove proper disposal.

We provide multiple container sizes from 6-yard to 30-yard options, depending on your volume. Your pickup schedule stays flexible because your recycling needs don’t follow a perfect calendar.

What types of materials can you actually recycle in Port Jefferson?

We handle cardboard, office paper, mixed paper, and most standard recyclables that Suffolk County facilities can process. The key word is “can” – not everything with a recycling symbol actually gets recycled.

We sort materials on-site to separate truly recyclable items from contaminated or non-recyclable waste. Contaminated materials get disposed of properly through different channels, so they don’t ruin entire batches of good recyclables.

If you’re not sure about specific materials, we’ll evaluate them during pickup and let you know which items can be recycled and which need alternative disposal methods.

We work directly with recycling facilities throughout Suffolk County and can provide documentation showing where your materials were processed. This isn’t a “trust us” situation – you get actual proof.

Our relationships with local recycling centers mean we know which facilities accept which materials and in what condition. We don’t just drop everything at the cheapest location and hope for the best.

When materials can’t be recycled due to contamination or other issues, we’ll tell you upfront and explain the alternative disposal method. Transparency beats false promises every time.

Most small businesses start with our 10-yard container for weekly pickup, but it depends on your actual volume, not just estimates. We’d rather have you start smaller and adjust than pay for space you don’t need.

Retail businesses with lots of cardboard typically need 15-20 yard containers. Offices with primarily paper waste often do fine with 10-yard containers picked up twice weekly rather than larger containers sitting around.

We’ll evaluate your current waste stream during our initial visit and recommend the most cost-effective combination of container size and pickup frequency. No point in paying for more container than you actually fill.

Yes, but construction recycling works differently than office paper recycling. Materials like clean wood, metal, and concrete can often be recycled, but contaminated or mixed debris typically can’t.

We separate recyclable construction materials from general construction waste during pickup. Clean wood goes to wood recycling facilities, metal gets processed for scrap, and concrete goes to crushing facilities for reuse as aggregate.

Mixed construction debris that can’t be separated gets disposed of through proper construction waste channels. We’ll walk through your specific materials and explain which items can be recycled versus which need standard disposal.

We typically deliver containers within 1-3 business days for standard recycling service. Emergency or same-day service is available when you have urgent compliance needs or unexpected waste situations.

Your first pickup happens on the schedule you choose – weekly, bi-weekly, or on-call basis. We’re not trying to lock you into rigid schedules that don’t match your actual recycling patterns.

For businesses with immediate compliance requirements or large volumes of accumulated recyclables, we can often provide next-day service. The key is calling us before the situation becomes a crisis rather than after.

We sort materials during pickup to separate clean recyclables from contaminated items. Light contamination can often be handled on-site, but heavily contaminated loads need different processing.

Contaminated materials get disposed of through appropriate waste channels rather than contaminating entire batches of good recyclables. This protects the integrity of recycling programs and prevents facilities from rejecting loads.

We’ll work with you to set up systems that minimize contamination in the first place. Simple changes to your collection process can dramatically improve your recycling rates and reduce disposal costs.
