We are happy to share our safety training videos with the public to help promote a safer waste management industry!

24 Hour Waste Removal
Action operates one of the most modern and well-maintained fleets in the Tri-State area. Our staff is on-call 24 hours a day to collect and dispose of non-hazardous solid waste and recyclable materials.
Cost-effective Programs
We offer collection containers of all sizes, so the shape or amount of your waste is never an issue. Our reliable and cost-effective programs with flexible rates make us the most trusted choice for commercial establishments throughout New York’s five boroughs.
Curbside Trash Collection
Among the safest and most reliable ways to dispose of your waste, our curbside trash collection also saves you time. No more trips to the dumpster; simply schedule a pickup time, tell us your location, and leave the rest to us.
Rear load containers provide you with more room for your waste than front load containers, and are also more convenient for storing in narrow spaces because of their slanted back. Our fleet of heavy-duty rear load containers range in sizes from 1 yard up to 8 yards to meet your specific needs.
Roll-off Compactors
Compactors maximize the amount of waste by compacting the waste with a blade before it’s loaded into containers. Compactors also minimize the amount of collections that are needed over time. Our compactor equipment is offered through sale, lease and rental programs, and we provide complete and expert installation services.
