The yard

IBC Tote Recycling NY LLC
19-22 45th St
Astoria, NY 11105
United States

Astoria, Queens — a few minutes from the Grand Central Parkway and the Triborough. Ask for the yard office. Visitors are welcome during opening hours and encouraged on orders over twenty units.

Opening hours

Monday – Friday
7:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Saturday
8:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Sunday
Closed

All times Eastern. Collections are scheduled inside these hours; we can run an early window before 7:00 AM by arrangement where a site needs to be cleared before its own shift starts.

Email addresses

Attach photographs directly — plate, interior, valve and the pile. It is the fastest route to a firm number.

Why there is no phone number

Because a yard is loud, a driver is driving, and a price agreed on a call is a price nobody can produce later. Everything we quote — grades, unit prices, serial lists, collection windows, test records — goes out in writing. It is slower on the first exchange and considerably faster on every one after it.

Getting a fast answer

Tell us these five things and we can usually quote in one reply:

  1. Buying or selling
  2. How many, and at how many addresses
  3. What was in them (or what is going in them)
  4. Whether anything needs a current UN mark
  5. Your dock situation — height, gate width, forklift or not

Coverage

Roughly 75 miles from Astoria: all five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester and northern New Jersey. Same-week collection inside the city.

Directions

Finding us

19-22 45th Street, Astoria.

Between the Grand Central Parkway and the waterfront, in the industrial block north of Astoria Boulevard.

By car

Off the Grand Central Parkway or the BQE. There is space to turn a 53-foot trailer in the yard, and room to park a pickup by the office. Come in the 45th Street entrance.

By subway

N and W to Astoria Ditmars Boulevard, then about a fifteen-minute walk west. The Q69 and Q100 buses also run nearby.

Delivering to us

Email pickups@ibctoterecyclingny.com before you set off so we can clear a bay. Bring the prior-contents declaration — we cannot take undeclared containers off a truck.

Questions
How quickly will you reply?

One business day, in writing, to every enquiry. The form on this page, the floating button on any page and plain email all land in the same inbox, so there is no advantage to using more than one.

What are your opening hours?

Monday to Friday 7 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 8 AM to 1 PM. The yard runs six days a week, so a Saturday morning visit is a perfectly normal way to inspect stock.

Where exactly is the yard?

19-22 45th St, Astoria, NY 11105. It is a working yard on 45th Street rather than a showroom, so email us before you set off and we will clear a bay for you.

What should I include in a first message?

Quantity, rough condition, and four photographs if you are selling: the UN plate, the interior through the lid, the valve and the pile. If you are buying, tell us what is going in the container and how it travels.

Can I just turn up with totes on a truck?

Email pickups@ibctoterecyclingny.com first so we can clear a bay, and bring the prior-contents declaration. We cannot take undeclared containers off a truck, which makes an unannounced delivery a wasted journey.

Everything in writing, within a day.

Use the form at the top of this page, the floating button on any page, or plain email. All three land in the same inbox.
