Paper processing at CRI's Addison facility

The Shortest Mill-Direct Route in the Network.

CRI is headquartered at 1750 W. Fullerton Ave. in Addison. For Addison paper generators, that means the trip from your dock to certified weighing, grading, and mill-direct outbound is a five-minute one. No cross-suburb shuttle, no extra handling cost stacked into the rebate math.

Same-day pickup is real. Spotted trailers can be on your dock within a few business days. The plant has been processing paper here since 1986, 40 years of operational continuity in one village means dock crews know the local grades, the local volumes, and the local generators that keep this market running.

With 40 years of direct relationships with domestic and international paper mills, we place every grade at the highest possible price. Equipment, logistics, and market expertise are all included.

Addison Paper Recycling FAQ

Common questions from Addison businesses evaluating CRI for paper recycling.

How fast can CRI start paper recycling pickups at an Addison facility?+
Most Addison accounts go live within a few business days of the assessment. Our plant is at 1750 W. Fullerton Ave., so route setup and container placement happen locally, no cross-suburb coordination.
What grades of paper does CRI recycle in Addison?+
CRI handles over 15 grades of paper for Addison facilities: printing grades, coated book, office waste, ledger, pulp substitute, magazines, SBS board, newspaper, books, poly coated, wet strength, mixed paper, soft and hard white, and more. We tailor the program to the specific grades your facility generates.
Does CRI pay for paper from Addison businesses?+
Yes. CRI pays competitive market rates for recyclable paper. The Addison advantage is direct, your paper goes straight from your dock to certified scales five minutes down the road, then ships mill-direct against live commodity markets. As both a processor and broker with 40 years of mill relationships, we consistently deliver top-of-market pricing with prompt payment.
What is mill-direct shipping?+
Mill-direct shipping means your paper goes straight from CRI's Addison plant to the paper mill that will consume it, cutting out middlemen and extra handling. This reduces transportation costs, shortens turnaround time, and ensures you receive the best market price for your material.
Does CRI provide equipment for Addison paper recycling?+
Yes. CRI provides spotted trailers, totes, gaylords, and balers matched to your facility's volume and grade mix. For higher-volume programs running clean, valuable grades, equipment is typically included as part of the agreement. For smaller programs, equipment may be available for rent or pass-through cost. We quote it transparently during the assessment.
