Des Plaines, Illinois
Commercial Recycling in Des Plaines, IL
Des Plaines runs from the eastern edge of O'Hare south through the Oakton industrial corridor. Light manufacturing, printing, packaging, and a long tail of freight forwarders feeding ORD's air cargo terminals fill the map. CRI runs daily routes into it from our Addison facility, about ten miles southwest.
Built for the O'Hare East Side
Des Plaines has two distinct industrial faces. The Oakton Street corridor running east from Mannheim is classic light industrial: printing, packaging, contract assembly, electrical equipment, and a tier of corporate offices anchored by long-tenant insurance and consumer brands. Further south, along River Road and Touhy, freight forwarders and customs operations sit a short drive from O'Hare's eastern cargo gates.
The waste profile splits accordingly. Office and corporate tenants generate confidential paper for shredding, mixed paper, and steady OCC from supply deliveries. The Oakton industrial corridor produces OCC, plastic film, die-cut packaging waste, and light metal scrap. The freight corridor runs crushed corrugated, dunnage, customs-rejected packaging, and constant pallet turnover.
CRI handles all of it on one agreement, with state-certified scales on every load.
