Commercial Recycling in Mokena, IL
Mokena's industrial footprint runs along the I-80 and 191st Street corridors, anchored by the Mokena Business District. Light manufacturing, distribution, and contract packagers fill the parks. CRI runs routes into them from our Addison facility.
Light Industrial on I-80
The Mokena Business District runs along the east-west I-80 corridor with tenants that range from contract packagers and specialty manufacturers to distribution operators and construction supply houses. The industrial parks along 191st Street and LaPorte Road carry the bulk of the footprint.
The waste streams are mixed. Distribution operators run OCC and stretch wrap. Manufacturers generate ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, OCC, and dunnage. Contract packagers contribute die-cut waste and film. 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.

Mokena Recycling, Common Questions
How fast can CRI reach a facility in Mokena's I-80 industrial parks?
Mokena runs about 30 miles from our Addison facility, and CRI runs routes straight into the Mokena Business District along I-80, 191st Street, and LaPorte Road. Same-day pickups are available for urgent needs, and standard service is scheduled around your dock hours.
What materials can CRI handle for a mixed Mokena operation?
The tenants along I-80 range from contract packagers to specialty manufacturers, so the streams are mixed. CRI takes OCC and stretch wrap from distribution operators, ferrous and non-ferrous scrap and dunnage from manufacturers, and die-cut waste and film from packagers, all on one agreement with state-certified scales on every load.
Does CRI pay rebates on material from Mokena?
Yes. CRI grades and prices every stream separately, so the higher-value grades like clean OCC and segregated metal earn back on the rebate side instead of getting lumped into one low mixed rate. You see the weights and the pricing on each load.
