Elkhart, Indiana
Commercial Recycling in Elkhart, IN
Elkhart is the recreational vehicle manufacturing capital of the United States, producing roughly 80 percent of the RVs built in North America. Thor Industries, Forest River, Jayco, and a deep tier of supplier and contract manufacturing operations along the C.R. 6 and U.S. 33 industrial corridors define the local footprint. CRI services Elkhart with one CRI team, end to end.
The RV Capital
Elkhart's industrial concentration is unmatched anywhere in the country. The RV assembly plants along C.R. 6, U.S. 33, and the U.S. 20 corridor run shift work year-round, surrounded by a dense tier of trailer, marine, and bus body manufacturers and an enormous supplier base feeding each. Music instrument manufacturing, pharmaceutical operations, and food production round out the economy.
The waste streams are corrugated-heavy and pallet-heavy at industrial scale. RV assembly plants generate high-volume OCC, dunnage, plastic film, ferrous and non-ferrous scrap from metal forming, and pallet cycles measured in the tens of thousands. Suppliers contribute the same streams at smaller scales. The rebate side of an Elkhart program is real.
CRI services Elkhart through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.
