Racine, Wisconsin
Commercial Recycling in Racine, WI
Racine carries a deep consumer-goods manufacturing legacy and a modern industrial base anchored by S.C. Johnson's global headquarters, the Modine Manufacturing footprint, and a tier of consumer-goods, contract manufacturing, and food production operations. CRI services Racine with one CRI team, end to end.
Consumer-Goods Manufacturing
Racine's industrial profile blends a deep consumer-goods manufacturing base with industrial equipment, food production, and a tier of distribution operators. The S.C. Johnson global HQ, Modine Manufacturing, and a long tail of contract manufacturers fill the corridors along Northwestern Avenue, Highway 38, and the I-94 frontage.
The waste streams are mixed. Consumer-goods manufacturers generate OCC, plastic film, regrind, ferrous and non-ferrous scrap, and pallet cycles. Industrial equipment operators contribute metal turnings and dunnage. Food producers run film, drum, and packaging cycles. CRI grades and prices every stream so the rebate side of the program is captured.
CRI services Racine through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.

Racine Recycling, Common Questions
What does CRI handle for consumer-goods manufacturers in Racine?
The packaging streams that come with consumer-goods production: corrugated at volume, film and rigid plastics, and pallets cycling constantly, plus ferrous and non-ferrous metal from equipment and fabrication. Along Northwestern Avenue and Highway 38 we also handle certified product destruction, which matters when obsolete or off-spec goods cannot simply be thrown out.
Our corporate sustainability team needs real diversion numbers. Can you provide them?
Yes. Every load is weighed and recorded by stream, so your reporting is built from actual scale tickets, not estimates. CRI diverted roughly 94 percent of the tonnage processed at our plant in 2025. We report your Racine site's real figures at whatever interval your team requires.
Can our packaging waste earn rebates?
Clean corrugated and sorted paper carry genuine market value, and graded loads are worth materially more than mixed ones. CRI grades every load, ships fiber mill-direct, and shows you the weights, so what your material earned is verifiable rather than assumed.
