Lake Zurich, Illinois
Commercial Recycling in Lake Zurich, IL
Lake Zurich runs a steady mix of light manufacturing, packaging, and corporate offices along the Route 12 and Old Rand Road corridors. CRI runs routes into Lake Zurich from our Addison facility, about thirty miles north.
Lake County's West Side
Lake Zurich's industrial profile is light to medium scale. The Route 12 and Old Rand Road corridors hold contract manufacturers, packaging converters, plastics processors, and a steady tier of corporate offices. Distribution operators fill in along Quentin Road.
The waste streams are mixed. Manufacturers generate OCC, ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, and plastic regrind. Packaging converters contribute die-cut waste and film. Corporate offices produce confidential paper for shredding and steady OCC from supply deliveries. CRI grades and prices every stream so the rebate side of the program is captured.
CRI handles all of it on one agreement, with state-certified scales on every load.

Lake Zurich Recycling, Common Questions
How does CRI reach Lake Zurich businesses?
We run routes into Lake Zurich from our Addison facility about 30 miles south, covering the Route 12 and Old Rand Road corridors and the distribution tenants along Quentin Road. Same-day pickups are available for urgent needs, and every load is weighed on state-certified scales.
What recyclables does CRI handle for Lake Zurich manufacturers and offices?
One agreement covers OCC from manufacturers, packagers, and office deliveries, plastic regrind, film, and die-cut scrap from converters and plastics processors, wood pallets, multiple paper grades, ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, and confidential paper shredding with chain of custody.
Can a Lake Zurich plastics processor earn back value on regrind?
Yes. Plastic regrind is one of the streams we grade and price separately rather than bury in a mixed load, so processors and converters along Route 12 capture the revenue side of their scrap. We build mixed-stream programs sized to the site so nothing valuable leaves as trash.
