Baled plastic at CRI's Addison facility

Grade-Honest Plastic Recycling, Locally.

CRI's plastic operation runs out of our home plant at 1750 W. Fullerton Ave. in Addison. For Addison generators, that means the cycle from your dock to certified weighing, grading, and onward shipment is a five-minute trip, not a cross-suburb shuttle that drives up handling cost and contamination risk.

Not every resin type is commercially recyclable, and not every grade has market value. CRI focuses on the streams that hold real value: HDPE rigids, PET, LDPE film, PP, and select industrial plastics. We grade transparently on the certified scales at the local plant and pay current market rates against live commodity pricing.

For Addison manufacturers, packagers, and warehouses, the local plant means same-day pickup is real, equipment placement happens fast, and the chain of custody from generation to processing is the shortest in the network.

Addison Plastic Recycling FAQ

Common questions from Addison manufacturers, packagers, and warehouses evaluating CRI for plastic recycling.

How fast can CRI start plastic recycling pickups at an Addison facility?+
Most Addison accounts go live within a few business days of the assessment. Our plant is in Addison, so route setup and container placement happen locally, gaylords, totes, or spotted trailers can be on your dock within a week.
Which plastics does CRI accept in Addison?+
CRI focuses on the plastics that hold market value: HDPE rigids, PET, LDPE film, PP, and select industrial plastics. Not every resin type is commercially recyclable. For lower-value or contaminated grades, we will tell you straight whether the material belongs in your recycling program or your trash stream.
Does CRI pay for plastic from Addison facilities?+
Yes, for Grade A and B material with real market value. Clean, sorted, single-resin material (HDPE, PET, PP) earns the most. We grade on certified scales at the local plant and pay current market rates against live commodity pricing. Grade C material may carry a disposal cost, we tell you upfront which side your load falls on.
Can CRI handle plastic alongside cardboard, pallets, and other materials?+
Yes. Most Addison accounts consolidate, the same route truck handles plastic, OCC, pallets, and scrap on one agreement. Local consolidation is usually the biggest operational improvement vs. running three or four separate haulers.
What equipment does CRI provide for plastic collection in Addison?+
Gaylords, totes, bins, and spotted trailers, matched to your facility's volume and layout. Equipment is included on most programs at no separate cost. For high-volume baled plastic, vertical or horizontal balers can be installed locally.
Where does Addison plastic go after pickup?+
Back to the Addison plant for sorting by resin type, baling, and shipment to domestic and international processors. There it is cleaned, pelletized, and manufactured into new products. The Addison-to-plant trip is the shortest in the network, fewer handling steps, lower contamination risk.
