Glendale Heights, Illinois
Commercial Recycling in Glendale Heights, IL
Glendale Heights sits in the middle of DuPage's central industrial belt. Contract packagers, printers, light manufacturers, and a tier of distribution operations line Bloomingdale Road and North Avenue. CRI runs daily routes into it from our Addison facility, about five miles east.
DuPage's Central Belt
Glendale Heights is small geographically but the industrial footprint runs the length of Bloomingdale Road and along Schmale, with contract packaging operations, commercial printing, light electronics assembly, and a tier of distribution and 3PL operations filling the parks.
The waste streams are consistently mixed. Contract packagers generate die-cut scrap, film, and pallet cycles. Printers produce paper trim and clean OCC. Light manufacturers contribute mixed ferrous and non-ferrous scrap. Distribution operations run corrugated and stretch wrap at volume. None of it is overwhelming on its own, but the cumulative cycle matters and the rebate adds up.
CRI handles all of it on one agreement, with state-certified scales on every load.

Glendale Heights Recycling, Common Questions
How quickly can CRI reach Glendale Heights?
Glendale Heights is only about 5 miles from our Addison facility, right in the center of DuPage's industrial belt. We run daily routes along Bloomingdale Road and Schmale, with same-day availability for urgent pickups, so a full bin never has to sit until next week.
Our volumes are steady but not huge. Is one truck for every material still worth it?
Yes, and that is the whole point here. Contract packagers, printers, light manufacturers, and 3PL operations each run modest streams of die-cut scrap, printer trim, mixed metals, corrugated, and stretch wrap. Consolidating them onto one agreement means fewer invoices and fewer pickup windows, and the cumulative rebate adds up even when no single stream is overwhelming.
We are a commercial printer. Do you take paper trim and OCC as separate grades?
Yes. Printer trim and clean OCC are graded and priced separately rather than mixed, and every load is weighed on state-certified scales. Keeping the trim segregated is what lets a Glendale Heights printer capture the rebate on it instead of paying to throw it out.
