Commercial Recycling in North Chicago, IL

North Chicago's economic base is dominated by pharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing, medical-device production, and the federal defense and healthcare footprint around Naval Station Great Lakes. The industrial real estate along Sheridan Road and the Green Bay Road corridor fills in with contract manufacturing, packaging, and supporting distribution.

The waste streams carry compliance weight. Pharmaceutical operations generate OCC, regulated plastic film, drum, and pallet cycles tied to documentation requirements. Medical-device manufacturers produce ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, packaging waste, and confidential paper for shredding. Defense and federal tenants run standard office and supply streams that benefit from chain-of-custody handling.

CRI handles all of it on one agreement, with state-certified scales on every load and documentation built for compliance-sensitive operations.
