Commercial Recycling in Elk Grove Village, IL

Elk Grove Village markets itself to manufacturers, and the mix shows it. Inside the Centex Industrial Park you will find food and beverage producers, plastics fabricators, packaging printers, light metal shops, distribution centers, and a heavy concentration of freight forwarders that feed O'Hare cargo operations. Each generates a different waste profile, and each pays differently for what comes out of it.

For the food and packaging plants along Higgins Road and Pratt Boulevard, that usually means high-volume OCC, food-grade plastic film, mixed-color HDPE, and pallet cycles in and out by the thousands. For the freight tenants closer to Devon Avenue and the airport, it is crushed corrugated, customs-rejected loads, broken pallets, and the steady stream of dunnage that comes with international air cargo. For the metal shops, it is ferrous turnings, copper, and aluminum that should never go in a compactor.

CRI handles all of it on one agreement, with one truck route, and with state-certified scales on every load so the rebate math is verifiable on day one.
