Commercial Recycling in Raleigh-Durham, NC
Raleigh-Durham is the Research Triangle. Research Triangle Park packs more than 200 companies and roughly 50,000 jobs onto 7,000 acres, life sciences and biotech manufacturing run deep, and Duke, NC State, and UNC anchor the talent. The I-40 and I-85 corridors move the freight. Labs, plants, and distribution centers run cardboard, film, and pallets at volume. CRI services Raleigh-Durham accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.
Built for the Research Triangle
The Research Triangle anchors one of the most concentrated research economies in the country. Research Triangle Park, created in 1959 and spread across about 7,000 acres, holds more than 200 companies and roughly 50,000 jobs, with life sciences making up nearly half of them. The region ranks among the largest life-science hubs in the United States, with biopharma manufacturers like Novo Nordisk, Fujifilm Diosynth, and Biogen alongside tech employers such as IBM, Cisco, Lenovo, and Wolfspeed. Duke, NC State, and UNC supply the talent, and new investments from Apple and a wave of advanced manufacturing keep coming. I-40, I-85, and the I-440 beltline tie it together.
The volume runs across those sectors. The biopharma and life-science manufacturers, the tech and electronics campuses, and the distribution centers along I-40 and I-85 run high-volume OCC, specialty and clean-room packaging, stretch film, and pallets, plus metal. Clean cardboard graded right is rebate revenue, not a disposal cost.
CRI services Raleigh-Durham through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.

Raleigh-Durham Recycling, Common Questions
We run a life-science plant, lab, or distribution center in the Triangle. What can CRI recycle?
Old corrugated cardboard and secondary packaging at volume, stretch wrap and plastic film, wood and plastic pallets, and ferrous and non-ferrous metal off production, plus certified document and product destruction. Clean fiber ships mill-direct so it earns rebate value instead of becoming a disposal line item.
We have facilities in more than one city. Can CRI cover all of them?
Yes. Raleigh-Durham 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.
Can our cardboard and paper earn rebates, not just lower our disposal bill?
Yes. Graded and shipped mill-direct against live commodity markets, your OCC and paper come back as rebate revenue. The free assessment shows what your Raleigh-Durham streams are worth.
