Recycling for Printing & Publishing
Print shops and publishers produce some of the most valuable recyclable paper grades in the market: sorted office paper, coated book stock, newsprint, and trim. CRI understands these grades and pays premium rates because we ship mill-direct.
Your Paper Is Worth More Than You Think
Print waste is not just paper, it is graded paper, and the grade is where the money is. Sorted office paper, coated book stock, newsprint, and clean trim each command different rates, and a hauler who lumps them together leaves real value on the table.
CRI grades your stock properly and ships it mill-direct, so you are paid for what the material is actually worth. We provide totes and gaylords for the shop floor and bring 40 years of experience with exactly these grades.

Printing & Publishing Recycling FAQ
Why does grade separation matter for our pricing?
Different paper grades sell for very different prices. Sorted office paper, coated book stock, and newsprint each have their own market. CRI keeps them separated and grades them properly, so you are paid for what each stream is actually worth instead of a blended rate.
What rates do you pay for print waste?
Because we ship mill-direct, we consistently deliver top-of-market pricing for high-grade print stocks. The exact rate depends on grade and volume, and we tell you upfront where your material falls.
Do you provide containers for the shop floor?
Yes. We provide totes and gaylords sized for a print shop and positioned to keep grades separated at the point of generation, which protects their value.
