Elk Grove Village, Illinois
Commercial Recycling in Elk Grove Village, IL
The Centex Industrial Park sits on 5.4 square miles against the western fence line of O'Hare, with more than 3,600 businesses moving freight, building product, and packing shipments every shift. CRI runs daily routes into it from our Addison facility, about eight miles south.
Built for the “Makers Wanted” Corridor
Elk Grove Village markets itself to manufacturers, and the mix shows it. Inside the Centex Industrial Park you will find food and beverage producers, plastics fabricators, packaging printers, light metal shops, distribution centers, and a heavy concentration of freight forwarders that feed O'Hare cargo operations. Each generates a different waste profile, and each pays differently for what comes out of it.
For the food and packaging plants along Higgins Road and Pratt Boulevard, that usually means high-volume OCC, food-grade plastic film, mixed-color HDPE, and pallet cycles in and out by the thousands. For the freight tenants closer to Devon Avenue and the airport, it is crushed corrugated, customs-rejected loads, broken pallets, and the steady stream of dunnage that comes with international air cargo. For the metal shops, it is ferrous turnings, copper, and aluminum that should never go in a compactor.
CRI handles all of it on one agreement, with one truck route, and with state-certified scales on every load so the rebate math is verifiable on day one.

Elk Grove Village Recycling, Common Questions
How quickly can CRI reach the Centex Industrial Park?
The Centex Industrial Park is about 8 miles from our Addison facility, so CRI runs daily routes into it and keeps same-day availability for urgent pickups. With more than 3,600 businesses packed into 5.4 square miles against O'Hare's fence line, that short haul is what lets us add an off-cycle stop the same day a dock fills up.
Every tenant in Centex generates something different. Can one agreement cover all of it?
Yes. Food and packaging plants along Higgins and Pratt run high-volume OCC, food-grade film, and mixed HDPE; the freight tenants near Devon and the airport run crushed corrugated, dunnage, and constant pallet cycles; the metal shops turn out ferrous, copper, and aluminum. CRI handles all of it on one agreement with one truck route rather than a separate vendor per stream.
How do we verify the rebate on our recyclables?
Every load is weighed on state-certified scales, so the rebate math is verifiable from day one. For the metal shops especially, keeping copper and aluminum out of a compactor and pricing them as segregated commodity is where the numbers move most.
