Mobile, Alabama

Commercial Recycling in Mobile, AL

Mobile is Alabama's port city. The Port of Mobile is the state's only deepwater seaport and the deepest container port on the Gulf, Airbus builds A320s at Brookley, Austal builds Navy ships on the river, and steel, chemicals, and paper round out a deep industrial base. All of it generates cardboard, pallets, and metal. CRI services Mobile accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.

Built for the Port and the Manufacturing Base

Mobile runs on its port and heavy manufacturing. The Port of Mobile is Alabama's only deepwater seaport and ranks among the largest US ports by tonnage, and a recent project deepened the channel to fifty feet, making it the deepest container port on the Gulf. Airbus runs an A320 final-assembly line at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley, Austal USA builds Navy vessels on the Mobile River, the AM/NS Calvert steel mill sits just north of the city, and chemical and paper producers round out the base. I-10 and I-65 and CSX and Canadian National rail tie it into national supply chains.

The volume runs across heavy industry. The aerospace and shipbuilding operations, the steel, chemical, and paper plants, and the port logistics and warehousing along I-10 run high-volume OCC, stretch film, pallets and dunnage, and ferrous and non-ferrous metal. Clean cardboard graded right is rebate revenue, not a disposal cost.

CRI services Mobile through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.

Mobile Recycling, Common Questions

We run a port, manufacturing, or industrial operation in Mobile. Can CRI handle our metal along with the cardboard?

Yes. We grade ferrous and non-ferrous scrap off production and projects to market and ship clean OCC and paper mill-direct, so both come back as rebate revenue. Spotted trailers, balers, and compactors are sized to your output and every load is weighed on state-certified scales.

What does the free assessment involve?

We walk your facility, map every stream, size the right equipment, and put a dollar figure on what your waste is worth. No cost, no obligation, and you keep the numbers either way.

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.
