Equipment Placement

Trailers, balers, compactors, gaylords, totes. Right-sized to your volume, installed where you need them, included in the program when the math works.

Your Dock Should Never Be the Bottleneck

Most recycling problems aren't about the material, they're about the equipment. Bales sit because there's no trailer. Cardboard piles up because the compactor is undersized. Plastic gets contaminated because there's no separate bin at the source. CRI fixes that link by placing the right equipment in the right spots, scaled to your throughput.

For higher-volume, higher-value streams, equipment ships as part of the program at no separate charge. For smaller volumes or mixed-grade material, we quote it transparently so you can decide what makes sense. Either way, you get equipment that fits, gets serviced, and grows with your operation.

Equipment We Place

From a single tote at the production line to a full baler-and-compactor install on the dock, CRI sources and services it.

Spotted Trailers

Dedicated trailers parked at your dock. Swap on your schedule, fill on your time, ship when full

Balers

Vertical and horizontal balers installed on-site to compact cardboard, paper, plastic, and other materials into dense, shippable bales

Compactors

Self-contained and stationary compactors for high-volume generators. Reduce hauling frequency and maximize trailer payload

Gaylords & Totes

Heavy-duty gaylord boxes and reusable totes positioned at the point of generation. Sized to your workflow

Roll-Off Containers

Open-top containers in standard yardages for high-volume, mixed, or bulky material. Available temporary or permanent

Custom Equipment

Specialty bins, sort tables, conveyors, and turnkey systems for facilities with unique throughput or footprint constraints

Equipment Placement FAQ

Common questions about CRI's equipment placement programs.

Is equipment included in the recycling program?+
It depends on volume and grade mix. For higher-volume programs running clean, valuable streams (OCC, sorted paper, baled plastics), equipment is typically included as part of the recycling agreement. For smaller volumes or lower-grade streams, equipment may be available for rent or pass-through cost. We quote it transparently during the assessment so there are no surprises.
How fast can equipment be installed?+
Standard equipment (spotted trailers, gaylords, totes) typically deploys within a week of program signing. Larger installs (balers, compactors, custom systems) take longer because they need site assessment, electrical, and logistics, usually 2 to 6 weeks depending on scope.
Who handles maintenance and repairs?+
Routine maintenance is built into your program. CRI coordinates service calls, swaps trailers when full, and handles repairs on placed equipment. Major mechanical issues are scoped during the assessment so the program covers what your operation actually needs.
Can equipment scale with us?+
Yes. Programs are designed to flex. If your volume grows, we add capacity (more trailers, larger compactor, additional balers). If your generation pattern shifts, we re-spec the equipment. The goal is to keep your dock from being the bottleneck.
What if we already have equipment we want to keep?+
We work with what's there. CRI will assess your existing equipment and either fold it into the program (we service and source loads from it) or supplement it with what's missing. You don't have to rip and replace to consolidate vendors with us.
