About Combined Resources
For 40 years, Combined Resources has helped commercial and industrial facilities transform their waste streams into reliable revenue. We process, broker, and transport, three roles under one roof, so every load is placed where it earns the most.
Privately Owned. Customer First.
Founded in 1986 in Addison, IL, Combined Resources Inc. was built on a simple belief: the recycling industry could do better. The owners brought decades of combined experience in commodities, logistics, and waste management to create a company that treats every client's waste stream as untapped revenue.
As a privately-owned, family-led operation, CRI makes decisions fast and keeps relationships personal. There are no layers of corporate bureaucracy between you and the people running your recycling program.
Customer-first is not a slogan, it is how we run. Every program we build, every load we move, every call we pick up starts with what works for you. That direct approach has kept clients with us for decades.
We process at our Addison plant, broker mill-direct against live commodity markets, and run our own transportation, which means you get one accountable partner from dock to mill instead of three vendors pointing at each other.
“We've been doing this since '86. We know what your waste is worth.”
That mindset drives everything we do. Where others see a cost center, we engineer a profit center. Where others see a dumpster, we see dozens of separable commodities with real market value.

Keeping Reusable Materials Out of Landfills
Every ton of recyclable material that reaches a landfill is a missed opportunity, for the environment and for your bottom line. CRI exists to close that gap.
Environmental Stewardship
We divert thousands of tons of reusable material from landfills every year, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and conserving natural resources for future generations.
Economic Value Recovery
Materials that would otherwise cost you disposal fees become a revenue stream. Our dual role as processor and broker means you get the best market rates available.

We design recycling programs that grow with your business. As your volumes change, your program adapts, ensuring maximum diversion and maximum return year after year.
