Commercial Recycling in Aurora, IL
Aurora is the second-largest city in Illinois and one of the region's most active manufacturing and distribution hubs. CRI runs scheduled Aurora routes and offers spotted-trailer service for high-volume operators along the I-88 and I-55 corridors.
Aurora Runs on Volume. So Do We.
From the Caterpillar operations on the East Side to the distribution centers and retail complexes along Route 59, Aurora businesses produce some of the heaviest commercial recycling volume in the suburbs. Cardboard bales pile up. Pallets stack up. Plastic film multiplies fast.
CRI's spotted-trailer program is built for this kind of throughput, we drop a trailer, you load it on your schedule, and we swap it when it's full. No interruptions to your dock operations, no dumpster overflow, no scheduling calls.
Every load is weighed on state-certified scales at our Addison facility, sorted by grade, and shipped mill-direct , so Aurora customers capture the full rebate value of their material.

Aurora Recycling, Common Questions
Does CRI run regular routes to Aurora, or is it on-call only?
Both. Aurora sits about 20 miles from our Addison facility, and we run scheduled routes through the city along with on-demand pickups when a container fills early. For high-volume distribution centers and manufacturers, we place a spotted trailer at your dock so you load on your own schedule and we swap it when it is full. No standing scheduling calls required.
What materials can CRI take off an Aurora dock?
Cardboard and OCC, paper across 15-plus grades, pallets in every size, plastic film and rigid plastics in grades A, B, and C, and both ferrous and non-ferrous metal. We also run HIPAA-compliant shredding and drop roll-off dumpsters for construction and industrial cleanouts. One agreement covers all of it, so an Aurora packager or DC deals with a single point of contact.
How do Aurora's high-volume operators capture rebate value?
Every load from Aurora is weighed on state-certified scales at our Addison plant, sorted by grade, and shipped mill-direct. That means the heavy cardboard and pallet volume coming off the East Side plants and the Route 59 distribution centers is priced on what it is actually worth, not bundled into a flat fee. Clean, segregated material is where the rebate is, and we show you which streams qualify.
