Simple Process, Professional Results

You call us at 516-826-5544 and tell us what you need picked up. We’ll ask about the type and amount of materials so we bring the right truck and crew.

We schedule a pickup time that works for your schedule—not ours. Our team shows up on time (usually with a 15-30 minute heads-up call) and handles all the loading. You don’t lift anything.

After pickup, your materials go to the appropriate recycling facilities where they get processed correctly. Cardboard becomes new boxes, metals get turned into new products, and everything stays in the recycling stream instead of heading to a landfill. You get confirmation that the job’s complete, and your space is clear.

Cardboard Recycling Wantagh NY

What We Handle for Wantagh

We pick up cardboard, scrap metal, appliances, and commercial recycling materials throughout Nassau County. Our trucks handle everything from small residential loads to large commercial recycling programs.

Wantagh residents deal with specific recycling challenges—like the Town of Hempstead’s contamination rules that can leave your recyclables at the curb if they’re not prepared correctly. We know these local requirements and make sure your materials meet the standards.

For businesses in Wantagh, we set up regular pickup schedules that keep your recycling flowing smoothly. Whether you’re a small retail shop generating cardboard boxes or a larger facility with mixed recycling needs, we size the service to match your actual volume—not some cookie-cutter package.

What types of materials do you recycle in Wantagh?

We handle cardboard, scrap metal, appliances, and most commercial recycling materials. This includes corrugated cardboard boxes, office paper, aluminum cans, steel, copper, and old appliances like washers and dryers.

What we don’t take are hazardous materials, contaminated items, or anything that requires special disposal permits. If you’re not sure about a specific item, give us a call at 516-826-5544 and we’ll tell you straight whether we can handle it or point you toward someone who can.

The key is that materials need to be reasonably clean and separated. Cardboard soaked with grease won’t recycle properly, and we can’t mix different material types in the same load.

Pricing depends on the type of materials, volume, and how often you need pickup service. We base our rates on the actual work involved—not some inflated estimate designed to pad the bill.

For one-time pickups, we’ll give you a clear price upfront based on what you’re getting rid of. For regular commercial service, we work out monthly rates that make sense for your volume and schedule.

Some materials like certain metals actually have value, which can offset your service costs. We’re transparent about this—if your scrap metal is worth something, you’ll know about it before we haul it away.

Yes, we provide containers sized for your actual needs. Small businesses might need a 2-yard container picked up weekly, while larger operations could require 6 or 8-yard containers with more frequent service.

We don’t force you into oversized containers that waste your money or undersized ones that overflow before pickup day. After seeing your location and understanding your recycling volume, we recommend the right container size and pickup frequency.

Container placement matters too, especially in Wantagh where space can be tight. We work with you to find spots that work for our trucks and don’t interfere with your daily operations.

We help you avoid contamination problems by explaining Nassau County’s recycling requirements upfront. This means no plastic bags mixed with recyclables, no food-soiled cardboard, and proper separation of different material types.

If materials do get rejected at the recycling facility, we don’t just leave you hanging. We’ll explain what went wrong and help you fix the process so it doesn’t happen again. Sometimes this means adjusting how materials get prepared or stored before pickup.

For commercial accounts, we can provide training for your staff on proper recycling preparation. It’s better to get it right from the start than deal with rejected loads and extra fees later.

For one-time pickups, we can usually get to you within a few days of your call. For regular service, we typically start within a week once we’ve sized the right containers and worked out the schedule.

Emergency situations get priority. If you’re dealing with a deadline for a cleanout or your regular recycling service fell through, we’ll work to fit you in sooner.

The key is calling us at 516-826-5544 as soon as you know you need service. We keep trucks and crews ready for Nassau County, but popular pickup times do fill up, especially during busy seasons.

Yes, we’re fully licensed and insured for waste and recycling operations throughout Nassau County. This isn’t just paperwork—it means you’re protected if something goes wrong during pickup or transport.

Our insurance covers property damage, worker injuries, and liability issues that can come up during recycling pickup. We also maintain all required permits and certifications for operating in different Nassau County municipalities.

Being properly licensed means we can legally transport your recyclables to approved facilities and provide you with documentation if you need it for your records. Some businesses need this for their own compliance requirements.
