Minneapolis, Minnesota
Commercial Recycling in Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis and St. Paul run on diversified industry. Food and ag giants, the country's densest medical-device cluster, and major retail headquarters and distribution all operate here, throwing off cardboard, film, and pallets at volume. CRI services Minneapolis accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.
Built for the Twin Cities' Diversified Base
The Twin Cities carry a uniquely broad industrial base. Cargill, General Mills, and Land O'Lakes anchor a major food and ag sector, Medtronic anchors one of the densest medical-device clusters in the country, and Target and Best Buy run retail headquarters and distribution here. Interstates 35, 94, 494, and 694 tie it together, MSP handles air cargo, and BNSF, Union Pacific, and Canadian Pacific run the rail.
The volume spreads across the metro. Food and beverage processors, medical-device makers, and retail distribution centers across Northeast Minneapolis, the Shakopee southwest belt, Eagan along I-494, and Brooklyn Park to the north run high-volume OCC, stretch film, and pallets, plus metal off manufacturing lines. Clean cardboard graded right is rebate revenue, not a disposal cost.
CRI services Minneapolis through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.

Minneapolis Recycling, Common Questions
We run a Twin Cities food plant, medical-device facility, or DC. What can CRI recycle?
Old corrugated cardboard and mixed paper at volume, stretch wrap and plastic film, wood and plastic pallets, and ferrous and non-ferrous metal, plus certified document and product destruction. Clean fiber is graded and shipped mill-direct so it earns rebate value instead of becoming a disposal line item.
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.
We have facilities in more than one city. Can CRI cover all of them?
Yes. Minneapolis can run as one node in a national program, with one CRI contract, one point of contact, and consolidated reporting across the 45 states and 4 Canadian provinces we cover. One team owns scheduling, billing, and escalations for every site.
