Local Scrap Metal Pickup. Live Market Pricing.

Addison manufacturing and industrial operations generate scrap metal as a natural byproduct, steel stampings, copper wire scraps, aluminum trimmings, spent motors. For many facilities, this metal accumulates in corners and bins, waiting for someone to deal with it.

CRI eliminates that with local pickup and live market pricing. Our plant is in Addison, so containers go in fast, routes run frequently, and the trip from your dock to certified weighing is short. For most volumes we drop a dedicated open-top container so metal stays clean and graded for top market value. For smaller volumes, metal can ride alongside your other materials in the same trailer.

Either way, sorting your scrap maximizes what each load earns. Copper, aluminum, brass, and steel each command different rates. CRI strongly encourages sorting and helps your Addison team build a quick routine. If your operation cannot accommodate sorting, we will still take it as-is, you will just earn less per pound. Either way, your scrap turns into real revenue rather than landfill cost.

Addison Metal Recycling FAQ

Common questions from Addison manufacturers, fabricators, and industrial operators evaluating CRI for scrap metal recycling.

How fast can CRI start metal recycling pickups at an Addison facility?+
Most Addison metal accounts go live within a few business days. Our plant is in Addison, so container placement and route setup happen locally. For volumes that justify a dedicated open-top container, equipment placement is typically same-week.
Does CRI handle ferrous and non-ferrous metals for Addison businesses?+
Yes. CRI recycles both ferrous (steel, iron) and non-ferrous (copper, aluminum, brass) metals for Addison manufacturers and industrial operators. We handle the full range of scrap metal that production lines, fabrication shops, and equipment maintenance generate.
Can CRI pick up scrap metal alongside cardboard, pallets, and other materials in Addison?+
Yes. For higher volumes, we typically drop a separate open-top container so metal stays clean and grades stay high. For lower volumes, metal can ride alongside your other recyclables. We design the program around what your Addison facility actually generates.
Does CRI pay for scrap metal from Addison facilities?+
Yes. CRI pays live market rates for all scrap metal grades. Pricing varies by metal type, grade, and current market conditions. Sorted material always earns more than mixed. The Addison advantage is direct, your metal goes from your dock to the certified scales at the local plant in one short trip, capturing maximum value.
Do we need to sort our scrap metal before pickup?+
We strongly encourage sorting. Copper, aluminum, brass, and steel each command different market rates, and a sorted load earns substantially more than a mixed one. That said, CRI takes unsorted scrap, you will just earn less per pound. We will help your Addison team build a simple sorting routine if it makes operational sense.
