Built for Bensenville's Freight Cycle

Bensenville runs on pallets. The freight forwarders, customs brokers, refrigerated warehouses, and 3PLs packed into the O'Hare cargo footprint receive and ship hundreds of pallets a day. Inbound air cargo gets broken down onto 48x40s. Cold-storage operators rotate through GMA stock by the truckload. The result is a steady backlog of used cores that have to clear the dock.

CRI runs both sides of that flow from a plant five miles south. We buy used pallets at competitive market pricing, pay promptly, and supply recycled, custom-built, or heat- treated pallets to refill the outbound side. Most Bensenville accounts run both directions on the same trailer drops, used cores out, recycled pallets in.

Cores come back to the Addison plant, get inspected, sorted, and either repaired for return to service or dismantled for lumber recovery. In 2025, 65.3% of cores CRI processed were repairable.

Bensenville Pallet Recycling FAQ

Common questions from Bensenville warehouse, 3PL, and freight operators evaluating CRI for pallet buy-back and supply.

How fast can CRI start pallet pickups at a Bensenville facility?+
Most Bensenville accounts go live within a week of the assessment. CRI's plant is on Fullerton Ave. in Addison, roughly five miles south, so our trucks already work this geography daily. For volume that warrants a dropped trailer, equipment placement is typically within a few business days.
Does CRI buy pallets from Bensenville warehouses and freight forwarders?+
Yes. CRI purchases used pallets of all types and conditions, repairable cores, broken pallets, mixed loads, GMA, stringer, block. Bensenville's inbound air-freight and 3PL operations generate a steady core stream and CRI pays competitive market pricing with prompt payment. In 2025 we processed over 1 million pallets at the Addison plant.
Can CRI supply recycled pallets to Bensenville operations?+
Yes. CRI carries the largest variety of upcycled 48x40 grades in Chicagoland, A's/#1's, B's/#2's, GMA spec, stringer, block, plus custom hybrids and ISPM-15 heat-treated for export. For Bensenville accounts staging international outbound through O'Hare, heat-treated is usually the right answer.
Can CRI combine pallet pickup with cardboard, plastic film, and other materials?+
Yes, and most Bensenville accounts do exactly that. The 3PL and cold-storage mix here usually generates pallets plus OCC, LDPE stretch film, and the occasional certified-destruction load. CRI handles the whole stream on a single agreement and often on the same trailer drops, one route truck, one invoice, one point of contact.
What about CHEP and other rental-pool pallets that show up in the mix?+
CRI segregates CHEP and other rental-pool pallets out of the buy-back stream, they don't belong in scrap or repairables. We coordinate the rental-pool return so your team isn't sorting them off the dock floor.
