Gary, Indiana
Commercial Recycling in Gary, IN
Gary anchors the I-80 / I-94 industrial choke point at the south end of Lake Michigan. The U.S. Steel Gary Works complex, the Cleveland-Cliffs operations, and the broader northwest Indiana steel and heavy industrial belt define the local economy. CRI services Gary with one CRI team, end to end.
Steel at Lake Michigan
Gary's industrial profile is dominated by steel. U.S. Steel Gary Works on the lakefront is one of the largest integrated steel mills in North America, and the supplier and contractor base around it fills the corridors along Broadway, Buchanan Street, and the I-80/I-94 frontage. Heavy fabrication, metal stampers, and industrial chemical operations round out the base.
The waste streams are heavy. Steel and fabrication operations generate ferrous turnings, copper, aluminum, high-value alloy scrap, and industrial drums. Contractors and suppliers contribute OCC, dunnage, and pallet cycles. The rebate math on a Gary metal program is significant when segregation is precise.
CRI services Gary through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.
