Boston, Massachusetts
Commercial Recycling in Boston, MA
Boston is New England's distribution hub. Nearly all of Greater Boston's warehouse space sits along the Route 128 and I-495 belts, the Conley terminal handles the region's container freight, and Logan moves its air cargo. All of it runs on corrugated and pallets. CRI services Boston accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.
Built for the 128 and I-495 Belts
Greater Boston runs its freight on two rings. Close to 90 percent of the region's warehouse space, roughly 178 million square feet, sits along the Route 128 inner belt and the I-495 outer belt, putting nearly 15 million households within a day's drive. The Conley Container Terminal handles New England's containerized freight, Logan Airport carries the air cargo, and I-90 and I-93 tie it together.
The volume spreads along the belts. DCs and third-party logistics operators on the Route 128 ring and up and down the I-495 corridor run high-volume OCC, stretch film, and pallets. Biotech and life-sciences, advanced manufacturing and robotics, food and beverage distribution, and defense add packaging and scrap metal. Clean cardboard graded right is rebate revenue, not a disposal cost.
CRI services Boston through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.

Boston Recycling, Common Questions
We run a distribution center on the 128 or I-495 belt. Can CRI handle our OCC and film at volume?
Yes. We size spotted trailers and compactors to your dock throughput, schedule swaps so you are never backed up, and weigh every load on state-certified scales. Clean OCC ships mill-direct so it earns rebate value instead of becoming a disposal line item.
We have facilities in more than one city. Can CRI cover all of them?
Yes. Boston can run as one node in a national program, with one CRI contract, one point of contact, and consolidated reporting across the 45 states and 4 Canadian provinces we cover. One team owns scheduling, billing, and escalations for every site.
We juggle three or four vendors for recycling and trash. Can CRI replace that?
Yes. CRI handles every stream your Boston 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.
