Commercial Recycling in Billings, MT

Billings is the largest city in Montana and the trade, medical, and distribution hub for the northern Rockies and high plains. A refining complex with plants run by Phillips 66, Par Montana, and CHS in nearby Laurel anchors the industrial base, and regional distribution, agriculture, and energy fill out the rest. I-90 and I-94 meet here and BNSF moves the freight. All of it generates cardboard, pallets, and metal. CRI services Billings accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.

Built for Montana's Trade and Refining Hub

Billings is the largest city in Montana and the trade, medical, and distribution center for much of the northern Rockies and high plains, serving eastern Montana and parts of Wyoming and the Dakotas. The Billings and Laurel area runs three refineries, operated by Phillips 66, Par Montana, and CHS, that anchor the region's industrial base. Agriculture and energy across the surrounding ranching and farming country feed the metro, and I-90, I-94, and BNSF Railway tie it into the wider freight network.

The volume runs across refining, distribution, and agriculture. The refining complex, the regional distribution centers, and the ag and energy operations run high-volume OCC, stretch film, drums and pallets, plus ferrous and non-ferrous metal off projects and turnarounds. Clean cardboard graded right is rebate revenue, not a disposal cost.

CRI services Billings through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.

Billings Recycling, Common Questions

We run a refinery, industrial site, or distribution center in Billings. What can CRI recycle?

Everything that operation produces. OCC and packaging, stretch film and rigid plastics, wood and plastic pallets, ferrous and non-ferrous metal off projects and turnarounds, and certified document or product destruction. Clean cardboard and paper ship mill-direct against live commodity markets, so they come back as rebate revenue instead of a disposal cost.

We juggle three or four vendors for recycling and trash. Can CRI replace that?

Yes. CRI handles every stream your Billings facility produces, OCC and paper, film, pallets, and metal, on one agreement with one invoice and one number to call. No more chasing a different vendor for each material.

Can CRI report our diversion rate for sustainability goals?

Yes. You get monthly reporting on volumes, commodity revenue, and diversion rate, built for the ESG and finance teams that need the numbers documented.
