Commercial Recycling in Corpus Christi, TX

Corpus Christi is the country's energy export gateway. The Port of Corpus Christi is the largest crude-oil export port in the United States, a deep refining and petrochemical complex lines the ship channel, and steel and wind-energy manufacturing round it out. All of it generates cardboard, pallets, and metal. CRI services Corpus Christi accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.

Built for the Port and the Petrochemical Complex

Corpus Christi runs on energy and heavy industry. The Port of Corpus Christi is the largest crude-oil export port in the United States and one of the largest ports in the country by total tonnage, served by I-37 and US-181 and by BNSF, Union Pacific, and Kansas City Southern rail. A cluster of refineries and petrochemical plants lines the ship channel, and steel and wind-energy component manufacturing has grown around the port.

The volume runs across heavy industry. The refineries and petrochemical plants, the steel and wind-component manufacturers, and the port logistics and transload operations along I-37 run high-volume OCC, stretch film, drums and pallets, and ferrous and non-ferrous metal off projects and turnarounds. Clean cardboard graded right is rebate revenue, not a disposal cost.

Corpus Christi Recycling, Common Questions

We run a refinery, petrochemical plant, or industrial operation along the ship channel. Can CRI handle our metal along with the cardboard?

Yes. We grade ferrous and non-ferrous scrap off turnarounds and projects to market and ship clean OCC and paper mill-direct, so both come back as rebate revenue. Spotted trailers, balers, and compactors are sized to your output and every load is weighed on state-certified scales.

Can our cardboard and paper earn rebates, not just lower our disposal bill?

Yes. Graded and shipped mill-direct against live commodity markets, your OCC and paper come back as rebate revenue. The free assessment shows what your Corpus Christi streams are worth.

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.
