Recycling for Manufacturing Facilities

Manufacturing facilities generate high volumes of recyclable scrap, from metal trim and plastic runners to corrugate packaging and stretch wrap. CRI designs programs that integrate directly into your production workflow, placing the right containers on the floor and scheduling pickups around your shifts.

Recycling That Fits Your Production Floor

On a production line, the waste is constant and predictable: trim, runners, off-spec material, and the packaging everything ships in. Handled loosely, it clutters the floor and leaves on a disposal invoice. Handled right, most of it has real market value.

CRI places containers where your operators actually generate scrap, sets a pickup cadence that matches your shifts, and grades and ships each stream mill-direct. Metal, plastics, and fiber that used to cost you disposal fees come back as a rebate instead.

Materials We Handle

  • Metal trim and scrap
  • Plastic runners and wrap
  • Corrugate packaging
  • Stretch film
  • Mixed paper and office waste

Containers placed on the production floor

Balers, gaylords, and bins positioned where scrap is generated, so material gets sorted at the source where it is worth the most.

Pickups built around your shifts

Day, night, or weekend service that matches your run schedule, so recycling never interrupts production.

Revenue from what used to cost you

We grade and ship mill-direct and pay rebates against live commodity markets, converting a disposal line item into income.

One vendor for every material stream

Metal, plastics, fiber, and pallets all handled by one team, on one agreement, with one invoice.

Manufacturing Recycling FAQ

Do you handle metal trim and scrap alongside our other recycling?

Yes. CRI recycles ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal on the same program as your cardboard, plastics, and pallets. Sorting metal at the source earns the most, and we will help you set up that routine if it fits your line.

Can you match pickups to our production schedule?

Yes. We build pickup cadence around how your facility actually runs, from daily routes for high-volume lines to scheduled pulls for slower streams, including night and weekend service.

Will recycling get in the way of the line?

No. We size and place equipment to keep material moving off the floor and time service around your shifts, so the program runs in the background of production rather than competing with it.
