In a city as demanding as New York, choosing a waste management partner isn’t something you can afford to get wrong. Reliable service, compliance with city regulations, and sustainable practices all matter, every single day.
Here are the top 10 reasons why so many businesses, properties, and institutions across the five boroughs choose Action Carting:
- A Real Commitment to Sustainability
Action doesn’t just talk about environmental sustainability; we build it into everyday operations. From our advanced recycling facilities to innovative waste-to-energy infrastructure, Action helps reduce landfill dependency by recovering reusable materials from waste streams. Action’s ultra-modern North Arlington facility can recycle 50 tons of material hourly (that’s 215,000 tons per year), and our landfill in Amsterdam, Ohio, is equipped with a state-of-the-art gas recovery system. Innovations like our electric collection trucks further reduce emissions and environmental impact across the city. - A Powerful Network of 25 Waste Management Facilities
With a network of 25 strategically located facilities in and around the NYC area, Action has the infrastructure needed to move waste efficiently and reliably. This scale allows for flexibility and speed, ensuring consistent service even in a city where conditions can change fast. - Simple, Transparent, Customer-First Service
Action is known for making waste management easier. Our customers benefit from clear, transparent pricing, responsive account management, and 24/7 customer support. When questions or issues arise, Action is accessible, accountable, and ready to help. - Waste-by-Rail That Reduces Emissions
Action is one of the largest transporters of waste by rail in the country. Maximizing the use of rail for long-haul trips lowers greenhouse gas emissions and improves air quality, delivering environmental benefits that extend far beyond the curb. We’re proud to state that our waste-by-rail system removes approximately 20 million truck miles and eliminates2 billion grams of Greenhouse Gas emissions every year. - Technology That Enhances Safety and Efficiency
Advanced technology plays a key role in Action’s operations. We employ advanced technologies to improve routing efficiency, including GPS dispatching, telematics, and route optimization tools that reduce unnecessary mileage and idle time for collection vehicles. In-cab and exterior cameras and AI help ensure safe vehicle operations and provide corrective actions in real-time. - One Easy Hub: The MyIWS Portal
Action customers can manage their account through the MyIWS Portal. Our clients can easily view their service schedules, request bulk pickups, report missed stops, and update contact information, saving time and simplifying day-to-day waste management. - Proven Industry Leadership
Action is widely recognized as one of the premier haulers in New York City, trusted by marquee clients like the New York Yankees, Madison Square Garden, Chelsea Piers, NYC H+H among many others. Long-standing partnerships across industries speak to the company’s consistency, professionalism, and results. - Strong Community Involvement
Action takes pride in giving back to New York City and we are deeply connected to the communities we serve. From organizing both food and holiday toy drives benefiting local children and families as well as partnering with charitable fundraising events, like GMHC’s NYC AIDS Walk and local school fundraisers, Action is proud to support our neighbors and the organizations that make our community stronger.
These efforts are augmented by Action’s active partnerships with local institutions and community leaders, including participation from civic officials, reinforcing Action’s role as a trusted neighborhood partner.
- Compliance and Professionalism You Can Rely On
When you need to focus on running your business, NYC waste regulations may not be top of mind. That’s why we encourage our customers to rely on us! Rather than treating compliance as an afterthought, Action’s compliance team integrates it directly into daily operations, helping customers understand their obligations, adapt to regulatory changes, and remain fully compliant without added burden.
Compliance matters because compliance failures can lead to fines, service disruptions, legal exposure, and reputational risk. By working with a hauler that prioritizes regulatory accuracy and proactive guidance, businesses reduce risk, save time, and gain confidence that their waste is handled legally from pickup through final disposal.
It’s no surprise that Action has been awarded the right to provide service to 14 out of 20 Commercial Waste Zones in NYC, more than any other hauler.
- Values and Experience That Make a Difference
With over 25 years of experience, Action brings both proven expertise and forward-thinking innovation to every customer. Our experience and systems help customers stay aligned with city and state requirements, providing peace of mind while protecting people, property, and the environment. Our core values (“Do the Right Thing,” “Say What You Mean, Do What You Say,” “Refuse to Fail,” “Make a Difference Every Day,” and “Be a Great Team’) help guide every decision and each pickup.
