Ottawa, Ontario
Commercial Recycling in Ottawa, ON
Ottawa is Canada's capital and a metro of just over a million people. The federal government is the largest employer, and the technology sector known as Silicon Valley North runs a close second, concentrated in the Kanata North technology park where Nokia, Ciena, Mitel, and BlackBerry QNX anchor hundreds of telecom and software firms. Highway 417, the Queensway, and Highway 416 carry freight south to the 401 trade corridor and out to the region's distribution operations. All of it runs on corrugated and pallets. CRI services Ottawa accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.
Built for the National Capital Region
Ottawa pairs a deep institutional base with one of Canada's biggest technology clusters. Parliament Hill and the federal departments make government the dominant employer, while Kanata North is recognized as the country's largest research and technology park, home to Nokia, Ciena, Mitel, BlackBerry QNX, and hundreds more telecom, networking, and software firms. Highway 417, the Queensway, runs east-west through the city and Highway 416 connects south to the 401, one of North America's busiest freight corridors, with CN and CP rail feeding the Ontario-Quebec Continental Gateway. Distribution and warehousing cluster in the east and south end industrial areas near the airport and the designated truck routes.
The volume runs across government, technology, and distribution. The federal facilities, the Kanata tech campuses, the hospitals and universities, and the warehousing operations run high-volume OCC, stretch film, and pallets, plus scrap metal off equipment refresh and IT turnover. Clean cardboard graded right is rebate revenue, not a disposal cost.
CRI services Ottawa through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.
