Edmonton, Alberta
Commercial Recycling in Edmonton, AB
Edmonton is Alberta's capital and the anchor of Alberta's Industrial Heartland, one of the largest hydrocarbon, refining, and petrochemical clusters in North America. Refinery Row and the Scotford and Strathcona complexes run heavy industry on the metro's edge, the city is a major oil-and-gas services and distribution hub, and Highway 2 (the QEII) and the Anthony Henday ring road move the freight. All of it generates cardboard, pallets, and metal. CRI services Edmonton accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.
Built for Alberta's Industrial Heartland
Edmonton, a metro of roughly 1.5 million, is one of the heaviest industrial markets in Canada. To the northeast, Alberta's Industrial Heartland and Refinery Row form Canada's largest hydrocarbon processing cluster, home to world-scale refineries and upgrading complexes including the Imperial Oil Strathcona refinery and Shell Scotford, plus a dense run of petrochemical plants. The city itself is a major oil-and-gas services and distribution hub with broad manufacturing and warehousing, and Highway 2 (the QEII), the Anthony Henday Drive ring road, and CN and CPKC rail tie the region into Western Canadian resources and North American markets.
The volume runs across heavy industry. The refineries and petrochemical plants, the oil-and-gas services base, and the manufacturing and warehousing run high-volume OCC, stretch film, drums and pallets, and ferrous and non-ferrous metal off projects and turnarounds. Clean cardboard graded right is rebate revenue, not a disposal cost.
CRI services Edmonton through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.

Edmonton Recycling, Common Questions
We run a refinery, petrochemical plant, or industrial site in Alberta's Industrial Heartland. What can CRI recycle?
Everything that operation produces. OCC and packaging fiber, stretch film and LDPE, wood and plastic pallets, ferrous and non-ferrous scrap off turnarounds and projects, and document or product destruction with chain of custody. Clean OCC and paper ship mill-direct against live commodity markets, so they come back as rebate revenue instead of a disposal line.
We juggle three or four vendors for recycling and trash. Can CRI replace that?
Yes. CRI handles every stream your Edmonton facility produces, OCC and paper, film, pallets, and metal, on one agreement with one invoice and one number to call. No more chasing a different vendor for each material.
Can CRI report our diversion rate for sustainability goals?
Yes. You get monthly reporting on volumes, commodity revenue, and diversion rate, built for the ESG and finance teams that need the numbers documented.
