West Hempstead Recycling Guidelines

What We Handle for You

We accept all standard recyclables: paper, cardboard, plastics, cans, and glass. Everything needs to be clean and dry – no pizza boxes with grease, no materials in plastic bags.

For West Hempstead businesses, we also handle electronic waste recycling. Since 2015, New York State law prohibits putting electronics in regular trash, so we make sure your old computers, monitors, and equipment get recycled properly.

Our containers come in multiple sizes to fit your space and volume needs. Whether you’re a small office generating a few bags weekly or a larger operation with significant cardboard volume, we’ll match you with the right solution.

What materials can I put in my recycling container in West Hempstead?

You can recycle paper, cardboard (flattened), plastic bottles and containers (#1 and #2), aluminum cans, steel cans, and glass bottles and jars. Everything must be clean and dry before going in the container.

Here’s what you can’t include: plastic bags (these will cause your entire load to be rejected), food-contaminated items like greasy pizza boxes, hazardous materials, or electronics. Nassau County has strict contamination rules, and non-compliant loads get left at the curb.

We’ll provide you with clear guidelines specific to your service area, because recycling rules can vary slightly between different parts of Nassau County.

We offer flexible pickup schedules based on your needs – weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly service. Most commercial customers find weekly pickup works best to keep their workspace clean and prevent overflow.

We show up on the same day each week at roughly the same time, so you can plan around our schedule. If you need an early morning pickup or have specific timing requirements, just let us know when we set up your service.

For businesses with variable recycling volumes, we can adjust pickup frequency seasonally. Retail locations often need more frequent service during busy periods, and we can accommodate those changes.

Yes, we handle electronic waste recycling for West Hempstead businesses. Since 2015, New York State law prohibits putting electronics in regular trash, so proper e-waste recycling isn’t optional anymore.

We accept computers, monitors, printers, televisions, cables, keyboards, tablets, and most other business electronics. Cell phones aren’t accepted through our program, but everything else gets processed at certified recycling facilities.

For businesses clearing out old IT equipment, we can coordinate special pickups. This is especially important because old electronics take up valuable office and warehouse space, and proper disposal protects your business from compliance issues.

If your recycling contains non-recyclable materials or hasn’t been properly cleaned, it can get rejected and left at your location. This happens more often than you’d think, especially with plastic bags or food-contaminated items.

When this happens, you’ll need to remove the contaminating materials and put the rest out for the next pickup. We’ll work with you to identify what caused the rejection so it doesn’t happen again.

The best prevention is following the guidelines we provide and keeping materials clean and dry. We’d rather spend a few minutes explaining the rules upfront than deal with rejected loads later.

Recycling service costs depend on your container size, pickup frequency, and location access. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges.

Most small to medium businesses find our service costs less than they expect, especially when you factor in the time savings and compliance peace of mind. We’re competitive with other Nassau County providers, but our customers tell us our reliability and local knowledge make the difference.

We’ll give you a clear quote upfront that includes everything – container rental, pickup service, and proper disposal. No fine print, no add-on fees that show up later.

Absolutely. After 20+ years serving West Hempstead businesses, we’ve seen every type of recycling situation. We’ll ask about your business type, employee count, and typical waste patterns to recommend the right fit.

Most offices do well with smaller containers picked up weekly, while retail locations or restaurants often need larger containers or more frequent service. Manufacturing and warehouse operations have their own specific needs.

We can start you with one size and adjust if needed. It’s better to get the sizing right from the beginning than deal with overflowing containers or paying for space you don’t need.
