Vancouver, British Columbia
Commercial Recycling in Vancouver, BC
Vancouver is the largest city in British Columbia, with a metro of roughly 2.6 million people. The Port of Vancouver is the largest port in Canada and a major Pacific trade gateway, which anchors deep distribution and warehousing across Surrey, Delta, and Richmond. Forest and wood products, manufacturing, and a busy film industry round out the base, all of it moving on Highway 1, the Trans-Canada Highway, and CN and CPKC rail. All of it runs on corrugated and pallets. CRI services Vancouver accounts with the same single-point-of-contact relationship our direct-fleet customers get.
Built for the Port of Vancouver
Vancouver runs on its port and the distribution network behind it. The Port of Vancouver is the largest and most diversified port in Canada and a major Pacific trade gateway, which drives high-volume warehousing and logistics across Surrey, Delta, and Richmond. Forest and wood products, manufacturing tied to regional trade, and a large film industry round out the base. Highway 1, the Trans-Canada Highway, is the main east-west road link through Metro Vancouver, and CN and CPKC rail tie the port and the metro area into national and cross-border supply chains.
The volume runs across port logistics, distribution, and manufacturing. The warehouses and distribution centers behind the port, the forest and wood products operations, and the regional manufacturers run high-volume OCC, stretch film, and pallets, plus metal off equipment and projects. Clean cardboard graded right is rebate revenue, not a disposal cost.
CRI services Vancouver through our vetted partner network. The customer relationship runs end to end with CRI: one team, one invoice, one point of contact.

Vancouver Recycling, Common Questions
We run a distribution center or warehouse near the Port of Vancouver. What can CRI recycle?
Everything that comes off a high-volume distribution operation. OCC and packaging, stretch film and LDPE, wood and plastic pallets, ferrous and non-ferrous metal off equipment and projects, and document or product destruction. Clean cardboard and paper ship mill-direct against live commodity markets, so they come back as rebate revenue instead of a disposal cost.
We have facilities in more than one city. Can CRI cover all of them?
Yes. Vancouver 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.
Can CRI report our diversion rate for sustainability goals?
Yes. You get monthly reporting on volumes, commodity revenue, and diversion rate, built for the ESG and finance teams that need the numbers documented.
