Commercial Recycling in St. Charles, IL

St. Charles has held a manufacturing economy since the nineteenth century, and the modern industrial corridors along Stearns Road and Dean Street still carry that DNA. Contract manufacturing, plastics, metal fabrication, packaging converters, and a growing tier of distribution and corporate office tenants fill the parks.

The waste streams are mixed. Manufacturers generate OCC, ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, and plastic regrind. Contract packagers contribute die-cut waste and film. Corporate offices produce confidential paper for shredding and steady OCC from supply deliveries. Each operation grades and prices differently.

CRI handles all of it on one agreement, with state-certified scales on every load.
