You know that pile of cardboard boxes in your garage? The stack of recyclables taking up space in your basement? That’s not just clutter—it’s a fire hazard and a waste of valuable materials that could be put back to good use.
When you work with the right recycling service, those materials get picked up on your schedule, processed properly, and turned into something useful again. Your space gets cleared out, your conscience stays clear, and Long Island stays a little bit cleaner.
No more weekend trips to the recycling center with a car full of boxes. No more wondering if you’re doing it right or if it’s actually getting recycled. Just reliable pickup, proper processing, and the peace of mind that comes from working with people who’ve been doing this the right way for over two decades.
Millennium Container Service has been serving Nassau and Suffolk counties since 2000. We were founded by Long Island natives who graduated from Hofstra University and C.W. Post, so we understand this community inside and out.
What started as a commitment to keep Long Island clean has grown into a fully licensed and insured operation that handles everything from residential cleanouts to commercial recycling programs. We’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will, charging what we quote, and treating every customer’s property with respect.
This isn’t some faceless corporation—it’s your neighbors running a business the way it should be run. Honest, reliable, and focused on doing right by the community we call home.
Getting your recyclables picked up shouldn’t be complicated. You call or schedule online, and we’ll give you an upfront price based on what you need hauled away and how much space it takes up.
We show up with the right equipment and trained crew members who know how to handle materials safely and efficiently. Everything gets loaded up professionally—no damage to your property, no mess left behind.
Your materials go to certified recycling facilities where they’re processed according to industry standards. Cardboard becomes new packaging, metals get melted down and reused, and everything possible gets diverted from landfills. You get a clean space and the satisfaction of knowing your waste became someone else’s raw materials.

Most cardboard, paper, metals, and clean containers can be recycled through our service. That includes shipping boxes, office paper, aluminum cans, steel containers, and most plastics marked with recycling numbers.
What can’t go in? Anything contaminated with food or grease, hazardous materials, electronics, and batteries need special handling. If you’re not sure about something, just ask—we’d rather answer questions upfront than deal with contaminated loads later.
In Wincoma and throughout Nassau County, residents are increasingly focused on environmental responsibility. With Long Island’s limited landfill space and growing awareness of climate impact, proper recycling isn’t just good citizenship—it’s essential for the community’s future. Every ton of recycled materials means less strain on local infrastructure and more resources available for future generations.
Recycling pickup costs depend on the volume of materials and how often you need service. For one-time pickups, pricing is typically based on how much space your materials take up in the truck.
Regular residential service usually runs less than you’d spend on gas driving to recycling centers yourself, especially when you factor in your time. Commercial accounts get volume pricing that often makes recycling cheaper than throwing everything in the regular dumpster.
The key is getting an honest quote upfront. We provide transparent pricing without hidden fees or surprise charges. We’ll assess your needs and give you a firm price before any work begins.
Most common recyclables are accepted: cardboard boxes, office paper, newspapers, magazines, aluminum cans, steel containers, and plastic bottles and containers with recycling symbols.
Clean materials work best—rinse out food containers and break down cardboard boxes to maximize space efficiency. Mixed loads are fine as long as everything is actually recyclable and not contaminated.
What doesn’t work: anything with food waste, grease-stained pizza boxes, electronics, batteries, paint cans, or hazardous materials. These items need special handling through different programs. When in doubt, ask before your pickup day to avoid any issues.
Most recycling pickups can be scheduled within a few days of your call, sometimes sooner depending on the season and your location in Nassau County.
For regular service, we work around your schedule to find pickup days that make sense for your routine. One-time cleanouts or larger volumes might need a bit more lead time to ensure we bring the right equipment.
The best approach is to call as soon as you know you’ll need service. We’re pretty flexible with scheduling, but giving us a heads up helps ensure you get the time slot that works best for you.
For regular commercial accounts, we can provide recycling containers in various sizes to match your volume needs. Residential customers typically use their own containers or bags for smaller amounts.
Larger one-time pickups work differently—we bring the truck and load everything up directly. This is actually more efficient for big cleanouts since you don’t have to worry about fitting everything into a specific container size.
Container options include everything from small bins for office settings to large roll-off containers for construction sites or major cleanouts. The right solution depends on your space, volume, and pickup frequency.
Yes, we cover Nassau County including Wincoma and surrounding communities. We’ve been serving the area for over 20 years, so we know the local roads, regulations, and logistics inside and out.
Service areas include both residential neighborhoods and commercial districts throughout the county. Some rural or harder-to-reach locations might have slightly different scheduling, but we work with customers to find solutions that make sense.
Being locally based means we understand Nassau County’s specific recycling requirements and can ensure your materials are processed according to local environmental standards. No outsourcing to companies that don’t know the area.
All materials go to certified recycling facilities where they’re sorted, processed, and turned into raw materials for new products. Cardboard becomes new packaging, metals get melted down and reformed, and plastics are processed into new containers or other products.
The goal is to keep as much material as possible out of landfills and back in the manufacturing cycle. This reduces demand for virgin materials and helps minimize environmental impact from extraction and processing.
You’re not just clearing out space—you’re contributing to a circular economy where today’s waste becomes tomorrow’s products. It’s one of the most direct ways individuals and businesses can reduce their environmental footprint while solving a practical problem.
