Seattle, Washington
Commercial Recycling in Seattle, WA
Seattle runs on the port and the aerospace line. The Northwest Seaport Alliance is one of the country's leading container gateways, Boeing builds airplanes in Everett and Renton, and the Kent Valley holds one of the largest distribution corridors on the West Coast. All of it generates cardboard, pallets, and metal. CRI services Seattle accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.
Built for the Port and the Kent Valley
Seattle pairs a major seaport with one of the world's largest aerospace clusters. The Northwest Seaport Alliance, the joint container operation of the Seattle and Tacoma ports, moves imported consumer goods and exported forest and farm products, while Boeing builds the 737 in Renton and wide-body jets in Everett. SeaTac handles the air cargo, and Interstates 5, 90, and 405 carry the freight.
The volume concentrates in the Kent Valley. Kent, Auburn, Sumner, and Tukwila are packed with 3PLs, e-commerce and retail distribution, food and beverage, and light manufacturing running high-volume OCC, stretch film, and pallets, while the aerospace plants and their suppliers add aluminum and steel scrap, crating, and packaging. Clean cardboard graded right is rebate revenue, not a disposal cost.
CRI services Seattle through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.

Seattle Recycling, Common Questions
We run a Kent Valley distribution center, aerospace plant, or transload. What can CRI recycle?
Old corrugated cardboard and mixed paper at volume, stretch wrap and plastic film, wood and plastic pallets and crates, and ferrous and non-ferrous metal, plus certified document and product destruction. Clean fiber ships mill-direct so it earns rebate value instead of becoming a disposal line item.
We have facilities in more than one city. Can CRI cover all of them?
Yes. Seattle can run as one node in a national program, with one CRI contract, one point of contact, and consolidated reporting across the 45 states and 4 Canadian provinces we cover. One team owns scheduling, billing, and escalations for every site.
What does the free assessment involve?
We walk your facility, map every stream, size the right equipment, and put a dollar figure on what your waste is worth. No cost, no obligation, and you keep the numbers either way.
