Pick the recycling setup that fits your business.
Scheduled front-load service for most businesses. Compactors when the volume justifies it. Dedicated containers when cardboard or metal is your heavy stream - one local provider for all of it.
Roll-Off
Recycling
Best for: construction sites, large cleanouts, and high-volume warehouses
10 to 40-yard open-top roll-off containers for big recyclable loads - dropped when you need one and hauled on call, straight to our own facilities.
Ask about roll-off recycling
Front-Load
Recycling
Best for: offices, retail, schools, hotels, and smaller warehouses
4, 6 and 8 yard containers on a recurring schedule - up to six days a week, with wheels and lids included and one call to adjust service as your volume changes.

Recycling
Compactors
Best for: distribution centers, warehouses, manufacturers, and resort operations
One compactor does the work of about four 40-yard containers at a typical 4:1 ratio - fewer pickups, lower costs, and a free site survey before you commit to anything.

Cardboard-Only
Containers
Best for: warehouses, distribution, retail, and resort cardboard operations
A dedicated container for your cardboard - front-load for smaller accounts, roll-off when you move serious volume. Clean, source-separated cardboard is one of the most valuable materials we collect - and it can earn better rates.

Metal-Only
Containers
Best for: fabrication shops, manufacturers, and industrial properties
A dedicated container for scrap metal streams. Source-separated metal holds real commodity value, and it runs on our trucks to our facilities like everything else.
Ask about metal-only
Concrete-Only
Containers
Best for: demolition contractors, concrete cutters, and industrial sites
Clean concrete, block and masonry - recovered and crushed into recycled aggregate. Too heavy to lift over the cab, so dense loads ride in a lowboy instead of a front-load container.
See heavy-material haulingEvery container on this page carries recyclable material only - no regular trash. What qualifies is broader than most businesses expect; the full list is just below.
What can your business recycle?
A wide range of dry material qualifies - mixed together in a front-load, one clean stream in a dedicated cardboard or metal container, and a compactor's list is set at your site survey. Two things set the limits: what protects the equipment, and what can never go in any container.
✓ Accepted materials
Dry material, loaded loose and level with the rim
- Cardboard
- Paper
- Glass
- Plastic
- Metal - no wire, cable or banding
- Wood - cut to fit below the rim
- Construction materials - light C&D only
- Green waste - no stumps or large logs
Weight is the one hard limit on front-loads - the truck lifts the container over the cab, so dense material like concrete, dirt, rock, brick and tile rides in a lowboy instead.
✗ Prohibited materials
If it isn't dry, recyclable material, it doesn't go in
Never in any container
- Hazardous waste
- Liquids of any kind
- E-waste
- Regular trash
- Aerosols, cylinders & flammable containers - even "empty" barrels
- Toxic materials
- Batteries
- Contaminated soil
- Tires
- Medical waste & needles
This list isn't everything - when in doubt, keep it out. Call (702) 440-4242 before it goes in.

Collected on our trucks. Sorted at one of our facilities. By our people.
One accountable team from your enclosure to our facilities. Western Elite owns the trucks, the routes, and the processing - so your service never depends on a third party showing up.
Our Own Facilities
- Material goes straight to one of our own permitted facilities
- Recyclables are sorted and sold back to the commodities market
- Our own trucks and local drivers on every route
How Pricing Works
- Every service starts with a free site survey and material audit - no one-size rates
- Pricing is built from your material, container size and count, location, and pickup frequency
- Volume discounts as your needs grow
- High-grade streams like pure cardboard can earn better rates
Recycling you can see.
Drive into our dumpsite and the recycling isn't a marketing claim - it's the landscape. The concrete pile, the metal containers, the cardboard: that's material that came in as debris and leaves as product.
You have a choice with your recyclables. Here's why it should be Western Elite.
Trash collection in the valley is franchised - recycling is not. Missed pickups, surprise invoices, and unanswered phones are the three ways the wrong provider costs you money. Here's how Western Elite is different.
Guaranteed Reliability
We show up when others don't.
- 99.5% on-time service across our routes
- Local dispatch = faster response times
- Proactive communication when schedules change
Result: Recyclables never pile up at your business - and no chasing your hauler for answers.
Transparent Pricing
What you're quoted is what you pay.
- Clear, upfront pricing
- No surprise add-ons or mystery line items
- Clear, simple service agreements
Result: Predictable costs you can budget for with confidence.
Flexible Service
Plans that adapt to your operation.
- Pickup frequency set by your actual volume - not a fixed route template
- One call adjusts frequency when things change
- Mixed container sizes at one location - built around how you run
Result: A service partner that adjusts to your business - not the other way around.
Local Team. Real Accountability.
Western Elite is locally owned and operated.
- Direct access to real decision-makers
- Faster issue resolution
- A team that understands Las Vegas businesses and regulations
Result: Better service, fewer headaches, and a true local partner invested in your success.
Property types we service across the valley.
Every commercial property has its own rhythm - a dock, an enclosure, a turnover schedule, a guest-facing curb. We build the recycling program around it.
- Office Buildings
- Warehouses & Distribution
- Property Management
- Retail Centers
- Restaurants
- Manufacturing
- Schools
- Hotels and Casinos
Looking for a high-volume discount?
High-volume accounts typically include businesses generating 30 or more cubic yards of material per week or requiring frequent service - and at four or more 40-yard containers a month, a compactor usually pencils. Volume discounts are available for qualifying commercial operations.
Switching your recycling service is easier than you think.
Most businesses we quote already have a hauler. Here's how the changeover works - and what stays the same.
We review your current setup
Material, container size, pickup frequency, access, and what's not working today - a free site survey, no obligation.
We recommend the right program
You get a clear service plan and a written quote - container, schedule, and terms spelled out before anything changes.
We coordinate the changeover
Container delivery, timing, employee instructions on what goes where, and your first pickup schedule - handled.
One thing to know about how the valley works: under the franchise system, every business keeps a minimum level of trash service with the franchise hauler - that part isn't optional for anyone, and no recycler can replace it. What you control is everything above the minimum. Most businesses reduce their franchise service to the minimum and route their recyclable volume to the recycler of their choice - that's where the savings come from.
