Commercial Recycling in Tulsa, OK

Tulsa earned its name as the Oil Capital of the World, and that energy base has since broadened into one of the country's deepest aerospace and manufacturing hubs. American Airlines runs its largest base maintenance operation here at Tech Ops Tulsa, and Spirit AeroSystems builds on North Mingo Road, anchoring an aerospace cluster along the Sheridan Corridor near Tulsa International. The Tulsa Port of Catoosa, head of the McClellan-Kerr navigation system, feeds heavy manufacturing and bulk industry, and I-44 and US-75 move the freight. All of it generates cardboard, pallets, and metal. CRI services Tulsa accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.

Built for Green Country Industry

Tulsa is the second-largest city in Oklahoma and the historic Oil Capital of the World, an energy center that has diversified into aerospace and advanced manufacturing. American Airlines has maintained aircraft in Tulsa since 1946, and Tech Ops Tulsa is its largest base maintenance facility, while Spirit AeroSystems runs a major plant on North Mingo Road. The aerospace and manufacturing base concentrates along the Sheridan Corridor near Tulsa International Airport. East of the city, the Tulsa Port of Catoosa sits at the head of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, a multimodal complex with on-site BNSF and South Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad service that anchors heavy manufacturing and bulk industry. I-44 and US-75 cross the metro.

The volume runs across aerospace, energy, and manufacturing. The MRO hangars, the aerospace and energy-equipment plants, and the port-side industry run ferrous and non-ferrous metal at volume, high-volume OCC, stretch film, and pallets. Graded scrap and clean cardboard ship to market for rebate value, not as a disposal cost.

CRI services Tulsa through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.

Tulsa Recycling, Common Questions

We run an aerospace MRO or manufacturing plant in Tulsa. What can CRI recycle?

Everything the operation produces. OCC and packaging, stretch film, wood and plastic pallets, and both ferrous and non-ferrous metal off the floor, plus secure document and product destruction. Clean fiber is graded and shipped mill-direct so your cardboard and paper come back as rebate revenue instead of a disposal line item.

We run an aerospace or manufacturing operation. Can CRI handle our scrap metal along with the cardboard?

Yes. We grade ferrous and non-ferrous scrap to market and ship clean OCC and paper mill-direct, so both come back as rebate revenue. Spotted trailers, balers, and compactors are sized to your output and every load is weighed on state-certified scales.

Can our cardboard and paper earn rebates, not just lower our disposal bill?

Yes. Graded and shipped mill-direct against live commodity markets, your OCC and paper come back as rebate revenue. The free assessment shows what your Tulsa streams are worth.
