CRI industrial baler processing corrugated cardboard from Bensenville accounts

Built for Bensenville Inbound Freight Volume

Bensenville sits on the south edge of O'Hare, packed with freight forwarders, customs brokers, refrigerated warehouses, 3PLs, and air-cargo consolidators. Every inbound freight wave drops a wall of cardboard at the dock. Whether it's a transpacific airfreight container being broken down on Irving Park Rd or a refrigerated truckload offloading at a cold-storage facility off York Rd, the OCC has to leave the building before the next wave arrives.

That's where most Bensenville operators end up overpaying. A generic hauler treats OCC like waste and charges to remove it. CRI grades it, ships it mill-direct, and pays for the volume, turning a disposal line item into a recurring rebate.

CRI's Addison plant is on Fullerton Ave., roughly five miles south of downtown Bensenville. Same-day pickup is real geography, not marketing copy.

Bensenville Cardboard Recycling FAQ

Common questions from Bensenville warehouse, 3PL, and freight operators evaluating CRI for OCC pickup.

How fast can CRI start cardboard pickups at a Bensenville facility?+
Most Bensenville accounts go live within a week of the assessment. Because CRI's plant is on Fullerton Ave. in Addison, roughly five miles south, our route trucks already pass through the village daily. For high-volume accounts that need a spotted trailer dropped, equipment delivery is typically within a few business days.
Do you handle the high-volume OCC that comes off O'Hare freight operations?+
Yes. Bensenville's freight forwarders, customs brokers, and air-cargo handlers generate some of the densest OCC streams in DuPage County. CRI's spotted-trailer program is designed for that volume, drop a 53-foot trailer at the dock, your team loads it on existing inbound shifts, we swap it when full. No dumpster overflow, no extra handling.
Does CRI buy cardboard from Bensenville warehouses?+
Yes, when grade and volume warrant it. Clean, dry, contamination-free OCC pulls competitive market pricing with prompt payment. CRI grades, weighs on state-certified scales, and ships mill-direct, so Bensenville operators get the full rebate value their volume earns instead of margin lost to middle layers.
Can CRI combine cardboard pickup with stretch film, pallets, and other materials?+
Yes, and most Bensenville accounts do exactly that. The cold-storage and 3PL mix here usually generates OCC plus LDPE stretch film, mixed pallets, and the occasional certified-destruction load. CRI handles the whole stream on a single agreement, one route truck, one invoice, one point of contact.
Where does my cardboard go after pickup?+
Back to CRI's Addison plant, weighed on certified scales, sorted by grade, and shipped mill-direct to paper mills that buy each grade against live commodity markets. CRI processed 45,498 tons of OCC in 2025, the dominant share of plant tonnage, so your material is consolidated into a high-velocity outbound stream.
